Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. She made sure her friends built it. I’m sure she got a pocket full of kick backs.

No, this was a Republican neocon project.:

"With construction beginning in mid-2005, the original target completion date was September 2007."

"In May 2008, US diplomats began moving into the embassy. The embassy formally opened over a year behind schedule in January 2009 with a staff of over 16,000 people, mostly contractors, but including 2,000 diplomats."

I stand corrected. Thank you for the correct information.

Hillary was behind another big construction project and I assumed it was the Green Zone. With that evil woman we naturally assume the worst.

Hillary and Obama were as much neocons as GW Bush was. Two sides of the same coin. Anyways, the original costs of under $600 million spiraled during the Obama years. I'm sure that donations to Clinton's charitable foundation and lucrative government contracts awarded could be linked if someone were to actually look into this.
