In a past piece I wrote of our crumbling infrastructure so you will be happy to hear that this massive embassy “will dwarf new U.S. embassies elsewhere, projects that typically cover 10 acres (4 hectares). The embassy's 104 acres (42 hectares) is six times larger than the United Nations compound in New York.”
In reading in the past of this massive monstrosity a feeling came over me that we are not leaving Iraq nor will we be leaving for a long time to come. We have too much invested as this embassy proves. So as everyone pressures congress to do something like pulling our forces from that country; guess who they are most likely listening to? Oh the companies that are building this embassy and yes, defense contractors. It is not a war, but an occupation and a trigger for yet another blow-back such as 9/11.
I received an email from someone who said that Congressman Ron Paul’s opinion of this blow-back affect was “nutty”. Now after reading of this embassy; does anyone who believed as that person who emailed me still see it as “nutty”? We have been told through various news reports that the Iraqi people do not want us there, but through the building of this embassy, we are not listening. This is the ignorant foreign policy that Ron Paul was speaking of at the Republican debates. You tell me how long it will be before the next blow-back? What terrorist organizations can exploit this anger towards us as we occupy Iraq?
