in the Green Zone is the largest embassy in the world.


how much does it cost a day to run it?

do we need an embassy that large in Iraq? can it be downsized and part of it be rented out?

silly questions, you say.

does the largest embassy in the world have solar panels on the roof?

will the Green Zone remain after we are gone?

what does it cost to protect the embassy now and after we go?

all us americans are cutting back, what about the largest embassy in the world?

how much does it cost us a day in Iraq? at one time an amount was floated about but I haven't heard any amount stated for a long time.

when americans need every penny we can get - HOW COME THE MILITARY/PENTAGON IS ROLLING IN DOUGH

and don't tell me its so the terrorists don't get us.

things are not making sense (as Judge Judy says - if it doesn't make sense it isn't true)

and don't send me to google for answers.

1. Judge Judy for supreme court!
you have to wonder, an embassy of this size is a huge statement of permanent occupation.

3. a poster in another thread said it was 20 million a day for Iraq


a month's worth of 20 millions could really be used here in the US.

5. The Green Zone is much larger than the new US embassy located there.
And the new embassy located there is the largest US embassy in the world.
