New U.S. Embassy in Iraq cloaked in mystery

this seems a little strange to me this report say's that this embassy is the size of the vatican city.....WOW!!!

but why would the US build such an awsome embassy in such a seemingly unstable region?? in any case it looks like were going to be in iraq a very long time ...the cost of this structure is amazing initself

Yeah, it sure does seem like the U.S. plans to be stationed there for a long, long, long time. Are military personall going to be stationed on site? Perhaps that's why its so big?
