It will be the responsibility of the next President to get rid of the Behemoth Embassy in Iraq

There's no need for it, don't demolish it though, it should be given over to the Iraqi People.

Maybe a home for Iraqis who need a new home, or a shelter for Iraqi refugees.

There's just no reason for us to have that massive building, and we can't even have health insurance for the children in our own country.

1. That thing is going to crumble in on top of itself before too long, anyway.

4. Exactly what I was going to post. Get rid of it? It will fall down all by itself.

2. They started building that thing before there was even an Iraqi government.

If it was up to the Iraqi people, I don't think there would even be diplomatic relations. They think we are there to steal their oil.

3. call me cynical

I'd be willing to bet $10 that the next president will do nothing about it.

12. Have any of the serious candidates said that they would get rid of it?

5. It will become the world's biggest

Shi'ite mosque.

9. Nope not going to happen. They only way it gets removed or used for something else

is when there is a repeat in Iraq of what happened in Iran in 1979.

give it time boys and girls, it's going to happen, it's just a matter of when.

10. LOL!!!!! yea right.. thats there to stay.

11. it'll be interesting to see what does happen to that monstrosity

be a good place to lock up the bush*/cheney* cabal so the Iraqi's could take care of them, their every needs and all. After all they did overthrow the government and take over the country didn't they?

13. That's a good one. Seriously. Got any more?

Take my base...please.

Oh, I got one. Going green will fix the climate.

The US Government has been in Iraq since at least the start of the 1990's, in terms of a physical military presense. The next US President will not change that. If they would change it, they would never be President. Not while the US is still a global military anyway.
