Fire! Fire!

Let's hope that there is not a fire at the new embassy in Baghdad. The alarm system does not work. At least one pump is out of commission. Some kitchens are, in fact, fire hazards. And, since we declared the building ready in December, the wonderful contractor, First Kuwaiti, is now being paid $4,500,000 to maintain it.

Talk about a boondoggle!

An embassy used to be a building near the capital. Now every ambassador will want a 21 building compound.
