They may lose ... uh ... what was it how many billions of dollars ...
but you really think that they'd somehow let a bunch of M1As get in the wrong hands?
Seriously though,
i mean ... if they're gonna have any chance at keeping all that bad ass democracy we exported to them at gun point and bomb blast ... we sure as fuck better give 'em the fire power necessary to do it.
We bomb democracy to them ... and they can bomb anyone that trys to take it away.
works pretty well.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
Iraq has 10 billion to spend on weapons but they're still drinking their own shit and piss?
mmm...would you like a nice refreshing cup of shit to sip while we get your weapons order filled?
"yes please....extra chunky floaters in mine thanks"
:rolleyes:
yeah....so could the true intentions of what is going on be any clearer or what?

Fortress America
This is the largest US Embassy built – roughly the size of Vatican City – and at $600 million (£300 million) the most expensive. At a time when millions of Baghdadis outside the green zone receive only a couple of hours of water and electricity daily, Iraqis observe that this project has been completed on time, on budget, and is entirely self-sufficient with its own fresh water supply, electricity plant, sewage treatment facility, maintenance shops and warehouses.
“People are very angry,” said one young Iraqi. “It’s for the Americans, not for the Iraqis.”
There are two office blocks that will house 1,000 staff, six apartment blocks containing 619 one-bedroom units, spacious residences for the Ambassador and his deputy, a school, shopping centre and food court; a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts; a gymnasium, cinema, beauty salon and social club. This is known because the architects – Berger Devine Yaeger, of Kansas City – posted drawings on its website briefly until the State Department ordered their removal.
The embassy was built with imported labour. This year a congressional committee heard charges that First Kuwaiti General Trading & Contracting told a planeload of Filipino construction workers that they were flying to Dubai to build hotels and did not admit that they were heading for Baghdad until they had taken off, forcing them, in effect, to work there.
Critics also portray the new compound as a symbol of American isolation and occupation, and a sign of how little confidence the US has in Iraq’s future. Jane Loeffler, an expert on the architecture of embassies, writes in the latest edition of Foreign Policy magazine: “Encircled by blast walls and cut off from the rest of Baghdad, it stands out like the crusader castles that once dominated the Middle East.”
