The Americans stormed into Iraq with such grandiose misconceptions as to what they are suppose to do there after the dust settles. Once America's "shock and awe" war lust dissipated, after eight years of trashing about, the Americans finally came to their senses, looked around and said, OK, let's go home. 

That grotesque structure, called the world's largest embassy, will stand for hundreds of years as a symbol of man's inhumanity to man.

Well, after 5 billion US$ vanished without a trace, intended for “rebuilding’s”, and the very fact they are BANKRUPT, they finally realised “the largest embassy” has actually become the largest quagmire for their state treasury ;) LOL

Well, to be even more accurate… what is 5 billion lost compared to the real lost in this war the US govt scored, which is over a trillion. And who benefited? The arms complex and the petroleum magnates, but the US govt lost a trillion of the taxpayers’ money. And this is the way how to still the money from the American ordinary taxpayer. Then the Chinese came and won most of the oil contracts. That’s why America has 16 trillion deficit and China perhaps as much surplus. Than question arises as such; do the US politicians really care even about America and her people?

What? Splenda and chicken wings are at a premium? For goodness sakes, didn't we just slaughter hundreds of thousands of Iraquis under the PNAC plan just so that Americans could live in luxury in Valhalla?
