We're building our biggest embassy in our most troubled ally's country - Iraq. As you'd expect, if it's the biggest, it's probably the most expensive. You'd be right; it will cost almost $600,000,000. What you may not know is that it is one of the few construction projects that is on schedule and within budget.
What the average Iraqi thinks of this monolith is unknown. I doubt that he would believe we'd be leaving soon. Of course, it does make an attractive target for the insurgents. There have already been a number of attacks.
I wonder whose budget is funding this.

Does anyone think to ask exactly what America wants with a $600,000,000 "embassy" in Iraq? Does it make anyone believe they ever intend to leave the country? Personally, I believe they have every intention of staying - indefinitely.
