I’ll be surprised if this complex is ever occupied. Building a new embassy in Baghdad today is like building a new embassy in Saigon in 1973.
Not to worry, I am sure it is being built on a cost plus contract.

There isn't a dem plan since the Manhattan project that was ever finished, didn't become a budget busting sink of ever more $, and wasn't a total disaster in every way.
maybe we should compare the embassy to the Big Dig in Boston, eh? where was the Waxman oversight on that fiasco?
That said, with the State Department in charge, I wouldn't bet on a stirling example of our construction expertise.

I wish President Bush had fired the entire State Department and restocked it with real Americans.
Whose in charge? Do they have a construction supervisor at least? I think there are job openings for our illegal aliens there. They could introduce Iraqis to tacos, cerveza and cholas. If they need more problems.
