Let's turn the new 104 acre American Embassy in Bagdad over

to the Iraqi government to be used for housing or some other decent purpose. This obscenity will be a permanent reminder of the Bush Administration's hubris. If, in fact, we are getting out of this country (one of these days) and having no permanent military bases and only a small US presence in Iraq, we have no need for this outrageous complex.

5. I've never seen a photo. Is there one available?

If you think the American Embassy is huge, how big do you think the Bush Library will be? Have they ever settled on a site to build the darned thing where people aren't protesting?

Boy, the background noise on the computer is sure active, today. Must be a lot of attempts on the firewwall or updates to the security software.

6. It'd probably make a terrific University and Medical School.

8. The Iraqis will blow the whole place up bit by bit.

I hear that they are getting better & better at targeting mortar rounds into the green zone.

Pretty soon they will be admitting that this embassy thing was a mistake because of security reasons.
