The U.S. Embassy will be the De facto Capital of Iraq

<snip>
The myth of democracy for Iraq is about as shallow and as subtle as this reinforced concrete building. Iraqi governance will for years be directed, controlled, manipulated, and protected by the United States of America and its military and corporate leadership. The assets of Iraq will be managed, siphoned, extracted, liquidated, and strangled from the U.S. embassy. Iraqis who oppose this program will become among the "disappeared" and will not be allowed to influence Iraqi governance or policies.

This huge embassy/capital will hold offices for direction of the entire Iraqi economy. It will hold security offices to keep track of and deal with all threats to the sovereignty of the U.S.-installed Iraqi government. It will house CIA agents and facilities, including prisons to house dissidents and intellectuals.

The control of Iraq's economy and assets is the sole reason for the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. There is no and there will be no real democracy in Iraq with the will of the people determining the fate of the nation and its assets.

The U.S. embassy in Iraq is not being built for the Iraqi people's interests. It is being built to facilitate and manage long-term American control of Iraq. The U.S. embassy will be more like the Pentagon than like an administrative home of diplomatic activity. Iraq's fate rests with the fate of that embassy, and it is a foreboding, threatening, frightening monument to the stealing of an entire nation, its future, and its soul by a greedy, powerful, heartless, and merciless occupier.

1. The very size of this structure is mind boggling

It is NOT an embassy. It is the command center of the U.S. overseeing its empirical operations.

5. ERIKA, I don't mean to be a jerk...

But it's "imperial" not "empirical." Empirical has a whole different meaning. Empirical is evidence based on something actual/substantive rather than theoretical - hence the term "empirical evidence."

3. Almost the size of Vatican City

Embassies are considered territory of the country to which they belong. In this case the US embassy in Iraq will be a sovereign state within a state.

Vatican City is 108 acres. US Embassy in iraq is 103 acres. Now just what could they be doing with all that property?
