US embassy in Baghdad to cost $592m and is size of Vatican - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

US embassy in Baghdad to cost $592m and is size of Vatican - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"When will this kind of insane spending come to an end? With the increasingly
regular and effective attacks on the Green Zone, this beast will be a magnet for
problems. There are just too many important items that could be addressed with
$600m back home in the US to keep throwing money around like this in Iraq. If
the government wants to invest overseas there are also plenty of better places
to spend our money to build for the future."


While I agree with the President on the war in Iraq, and our need to stay the course until the country is stable, this is a waste of money. I think that we should do everything we can to set up the government of Iraq, focus all our money on doing that. Maybe we could offer the troops that 3.5% raise instead of throwing the money into a building that stands a fair chance of being destroyed after the troops leave.
