Soon to be available .... prime real estate in Baghdad ..... our $750,000,000 embassy

***********

Sorry to rant but who didn't see this nightmare coming? "They" lied us into that unneeded war,
destabilized the country, and squandered trillions of dollars and yet now some of the very same
people who got us into that mess now want to tell us that Iraq's civil war is Obama's fault.

Maybe if we ship another $6 billion or so in cash over there that will help?

Well, I am old enough to know how this movie might turn out.

Lived here for 10 years, but new circumstances require that we move out.

Beautiful river view. All utilities included, though minor issues with the showers. Landlord's a bit of a dick. New upholstery!

Cats ok - prrr
Dogs ok - woof
Assholes ok - mission accomplished

It should have ten for that money.

You're not the only one who remembers that picture.

And the one of our embassy in Tehran.

This is making me a little ill.

On edit: Anderson Cooper is in Baghdad. Obviously, CNN has put the big gun in there. They must be expecting problems.
