You don't think there is no building equipment in a city of 3 million?

You think nothing needs to be moved in at all? All sorts of specific equipment for embassy staffs would have to be moved in. Fuel would as well (even if it comes from Iraq, it would have to be move from a well somewhere, to a refinery somewhere, maybe not in Iraq, and then to the site, and it would have to receive security along the way). Some of the skilled labor would be non-local (and non-locals will only work in Iraq if 1 - They are military, which isn't doing the work, at most they would provide security for some of it, or 2 - You pay very high salaries)

Its costing one billion dollars.......enough to build a good size airport terminal. Why are we spending so much money on an embassy.....money we don't have?
