WASHINGTON — 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.

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.

Wait, they built the embassy BEFORE getting control of the country?

while there, MikeD can watch kick back and enjoy one or all of the following flix.. for instance:

“Zombie Strippers,” an R-rated gore comedy starring veteran porno queen Jameson. Opening this week for a limited engagement before being released on DVD, the nudie horror film revolves around a top-secret military lab in which scientists have developed a new virus to revive slain soldiers as zombie warriors, allowing them to continue fighting in Iraq. After a mission to stop the zombies goes awry, one infected soldier breaks into a subterranean strip club, where he bites the headliner and sparks an orgy of flesh-eating among both patrons and dancers.

I've always wondered what white collar prison life would be like...D

How many Jihadists do you think were on the construction crew?

Were any articles of clothing buried in the floor of the locker room? Osama's turban perhaps?

This is his next duty station.

....yes.

 

[MikeD]

Ah, yes. The new embassy complex. A stellar example of governmental efficiency and thrift, built to the highest standards by the finest people for the right amount of money. With the best safety features, to boot. Something we should all be proud of, and a real emblem of American success.

 

[Changleen]

It's big. It's only 4 acres smaller than the frickin' Vatican city.

 

[MikeD]

Not unusual, given the neighborhood...

 

[ohio]

****, you'd think once you're spending half a billion dollars, you could fork over a few extra mil to beat out the Vatican.

 

[Changleen]

I expect it has more underground levels than the Vatican. That would be quite a few though...

 

[MikeD]

Hopefully it's not quite as easy to stash a pedophile down there.

Yes, but does it have a hotline to God? The God-Phone!
