what shall we do with the big big US embassy in Iraq?

[shireen]

You know which one I'm talking about ...
106 acres
21 buildings
size of the Vatican
self-contained utilities
some parts built with forced labor

What could we possibly do with all that brick, steel, and concrete? Move in? Naahhh ... they don't want us there.

How 'bout we convert it into a world-class hospital to treat the Iraqis we've bombed and shot and generally traumatized? It would go a small way, maybe 0.001% towards helping to repair that battered country.

Whaddaya think, eh?

Now, about those permanent bases ....

2. Turn it into public housing

for all the homeless we have created.

[Cleita]

3. Sell it to Club Med?

The Iraqis are going to have to rebuild their economy somehow after they kick us out. Tourism to the original Garden of Eden, Babylon and Tower of Babel? I don't know if the oil revenues will be enough.

4. It'll make a great palace for Sadam's belated replacement. nt

5. It needs to be that big...

It has to be large enough so as to contain the massive shit-hole we are throwing our nation's treasure down.

7. Abandon It and Get in the Choppers!

8. Sounds like it would make a great university hospital ...maybe apartments

9. Shock and awe it into dust

[annabanana]

10. I like your hospital idea... And it's big enough to include

ALL the medical services that will be needed. Inpatient rehab for all kinds of rehab... Housing for families of the recuperating...

[liberal renegade]

15. along with the $500 plus million

[KansDem]

12. I agree...a hospital

How 'bout we convert it into a world-class hospital to treat the Iraqis we've bombed and shot and generally traumatized? It would go a small way, maybe 0.001% towards helping to repair that battered country.

Each building could house a specialty:
Dick Cheney Wing for the Treatment of Curmudgeonry and Persistent Snarling
Donald Rumsfeld Wing for the Rehabilitation of Convoluted Logic
Alberto Gonzales Wing for Memory Improvement
Condoleeza Rice Wing for the Treatment of Ineffectual Misrepresentation
George W. Bush Wing for the Criminally Insane

...16 more buildings to go.
