Opening soon in Baghdad: largest U.S. embassy in the world!

WASHINGTON - April 18, 2008 - A Kuwait contractor has concluded the construction of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

On April 14, the State Department issued a certificate of acceptance for the 104-acre, 27 building compound, Middle East Newsline reported.

The $474 million facility is the largest U.S. embassy in the world, with 619 apartments for staffers as well as restaurants, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, volleyball court, and indoor Olympic-size swimming pool.

Ed. Note: The United States government isn’t planning on leaving Iraq anytime soon, if ever!  A real tribute to imperialism!
