The construction of the State Department's Imperial Fortress embassy in Baghdad is running well over budget. And the shock and surprise over that is what, exactly?

Note that the cafeteria has to be capable of providing three meals a day for all of the staffers (in the event of a siege) and that it has to be rocket, bomb and mortar proof. Bet those 252 prefabricated trailers they're going to use for residences (the ones with formaldehyde problems) aren't going to be rocket or mortar-tight.

252 trailers, the State Department's own trailer park. I wonder if they're also going to provide the tank-tops. (snark-OFF)
