Well for a bit more than a half a billion, 592 million USD, you can get a fucking enormous and posh embassy. Why, oh why, does the United States require a 102 acre embassy in Iraq for? Was State Department adviser David Satterfield giving the game away when he said:
"We assume there will be a significant, enduring U.S. presence in Iraq."
On the plus side it is probably the only American construction project in the country that is on schedule, on budget and will deliver what was promised; shame its not a school or a hospital or something truly useful though.
