Rush mentioned that the embassy houses 16,000 employees. That is not an embassy, it is a city. Why? Shut it down, bring these people home and leave a contingent to do the real work of an embassy. 16,000 people? This is absurd.
It cost $1B to build this juggernaut building. It has to be kept occupied.
In this computer age, why have embassies in terrible countries? Virtual meetings are cheaper!
Wow. I could possibly see 160 at most. Maybe someone is not good with commas and decimals.
Some Iraqi must be getting filthy rich when the Embassy sends out for breakfast, no? I daresay there are people who might think that would be good for the local economy.
