Is there something you're not telling us?

The whole world's watching...and waiting to see how this Iran/IEAE/US/China and Russia thing is going to play out.

What made me pause though was the article in today's Financial Times with the headline "Russia and China warn UN not to antagonise Iran."

Which naturally begs the question: What do they know that we don't?

Have a nice weekend.

Settling In

In case you were wondering what our long term plans were for Iraq, this article from the Washington Post should clarify matters.

According to the article, we are building the biggest U. S. Embassy in the world in Baghdad.

Here's how the lede goes:

"In preparation for ending its occupation of Iraq, the United States is making plans to
create the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in the world in Baghdad, complete with a staff of over 3,000 personnel, according to U.S. officials."

In another article from AP, the embassy spokesperson in Baghdad said the location was a secret.

Which would make sense if it wasn't for the accompanying picture AND the fact that the Baghdadis can all see it being built.
