US Embassy in Iraq - diplomats, workers living in unprotected trailers
Shortcomings in the planning for America’s more than $700 million embassy in Iraq may result in a year or more delay before the estimated 1000 staff can move in.
The new U.S. Embassy complex does not have enough fortified living quarters for hundreds of diplomats and other workers, who must remain temporarily in trailers without special rooftop protection against mortars and rockets, government officials have told The Associated Press.
More than a dozen people have been killed in the Green Zone in the latest waves of attacks, including a U.S. civilian government worker whose housing trailer was hit. At one point — during the heaviest barrages early this month — the State Department ordered all its Baghdad employees to wear body armor and other protective gear while outside buildings in the Green Zone… One senior U.S. official who spent more than a year in Baghdad described the living situation as “Russian roulette” for staffers in the trailers.
When reading the AP story, one has to notice descriptions of those interviewed include:
- “The diplomat asked not to be named, lacking authorization to speak to media.”
- “The official, who was not authorized to speak to journalists, would not provide more details.”
- “The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to speak to media.”
etc…yet the truth leaks out.
Thanks Serr8d and the Pentagon for providing us and the war profiteers with some good news.
Bring them Home! (oh, and about those FEMA trailers in N.O. , not Constitutional…)
