I just read the following online: WASHINGTON — None of the 26 buildings in the new $740 million U.S. Embassy complex in Baghdad is ready to be occupied. Fire alarms intended to safeguard more than 1,000 U.S. government employees aren’t working. Kitchens in some of the buildings are fire hazards
Even before there is any discussion of the condition of the “Embassy” there are a couple of things I just do not understand:
Are all of our new embassy constructions running this high in size and cost?
Is this embassy comparable in size and cost to others in similar unstable areas?
And finally, for now;
what kind of committment are we looking at that would require 26 buildings, 1000 people and $740, 000,000?
and, er the cost to ensure the safety of those 1000 people?
Can anyone inform me on these points. I just can’t seem to make sense out of it.
Have any of the Senators running for President addressed this in the campaign? what do they say?
I am really, really confused. Help me see the light, wisdom, logic and insight into this situation.
Hmmm I wonder what $740,000,000 would have done to the challenges of Education and the support of intent of No Child Left Behind?
