1. Appalling is an understatement

x( Something obviously needs doing about this urgemtly without endless committee meetings. From memory this was reported in a UK news documentary some time ago. I'm surprised its taken this long to get home.

2. S.B.O.P. Standard Bush Operating Procedure.

You can't build anything without some good slave labor. Jeez.

Follows the logic perfectly.

3. This is unbelievable. These men were kidnapped and told they were going to Dubai

to work on hotels.

It sounds like they probably all died working on the Embassy. Who knows?

Were they ever able to contact their families?

"The State Department (and the Bush Administration) were responsible for the building of the US embassy"

5. Well found

didn't think it was really "new" news. As I said in my post above I've seen it chapter and verse in a tv documentary over here.

6. So much for security ...........LMAO.

WTF is anybody doing in Iraq, let alone the Green Zone, without a passport.

Might have known those scum Kuwaitis would be behind this. Shouldn't be forgotten that it was the lies of their Ambassador's daughter, pretending to be a nurse, to Congress that swung the first invasion.

The USA was built on slavery. Why not their embassies?
