iraq embassy shown on rachel last night ====== HUGE government wasteful spending
this embassy is a huge waste of money and shows how they spend money on phallic symbols while the infrastructure of a country is disheveled

this was bought and paid for with over paid contractors -

they talk about our stimulus package and they are wasting this huge amount of money in Iraq and other places around the world - they do not have the knowledge of how to do anything right
