"Fiscally Responsible"
Obama-style
The United States has unveiled plans for its new $1 billion high-security embassy ... — the most expensive it has ever built. ...
A moat ... 100ft wide and rolling parkland will separate the building from the main road...
Wow. Moat… Free fire zone… This must be in Baghdad, right?
um, no.
The State Department sought to play down the cost of security measures… But the price puts the London embassy above the US’s most fortified missions, including the Baghdad embassy, which cost $600 million but required a further $100 million of work on air conditioning, and the Islamabad embassy, still under construction, which has cost more than $850 million.
Isn’t a “moat” supposta go all the way around?
