Saddam's Palace May Be U.S. Embassy Site
It would make a great Kurd/Shiite paintball gamepark?

Critics say the move will show the world that the U.S. intends to remain the true power in Iraq. Waaaaaah...

Thanks, Kat. (^: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
U.S. bombs never hit Saddam Hussein's grandiose presidential palace in Baghdad, making its ample meeting rooms and vast conference tables an ideal headquarters for U.S.-led occupation authorities after the war.
Now the building — the physical seat and biggest symbol of Saddam's 23-year dictatorship — is the likely site for the next U.S. Embassy in Iraq, U.S. officials in Washington and Iraq said this week.

Seems like it would be the perfect site since the secured 'green' zone is already set up and would be advantageous during the transition in use of the building.
