Are you trying to say the new American embassy in Baghdad doesn't exist ?

Nope...I'm just saying the spin in that story may or may not be accurate.

What spin ?

An AP label doesn't make it truth.

Would you care to elaborate on this that ?

Lack of elaboration noted.

If you can't recognize comments like "the Republican palace" as
spin....
then you're beyond my help.

LMFAO !

The republican palace is the current temporary location of the embassy. That's its *name*
you doofus !

" The Republican Palace, where U.S. Embassy functions are temporarily housed "


BTW... how many yards of secure clearance do you think needs to
surround our new Iraqi embassy?

That would depend what you think it's likely to come under threat from surely ?

Mortars, RPGs and car bombs seem to be the weapons of choice.

It is apparently " within easy mortar range of anti-U.S. forces in the capital "

Are you saying it needs to be bigger?
(that's sarcasm btw).

It would appear that its designers maybe didn't consider ( or were told to ignore ) the
likelihood of mortars still being likely to be used against it by the time of its
completion.
