Stumble it!

The Bush administration is building a half billion dollar embassy in downtown Baghdad on the banks of the Tigris. The walls are said to be fifteen feet thick and aside from the Great Wall of China it will also be visible with the naked eye from space. So the question is....what is Bush's real exit plan? The link is from MSNBC, the original article was on CNN site but was removed shortly after it listing.

it's still debatable whether the great wall can actually be seen from space.

there is no way that the great wall can be seen from space. that's complete bull. if anything that has a width of a few metres can be seen from space then almost everything is visible from space. apply a little common sense people.

The great wall cannot be seen from space. Two minutes is all you need to find that out on the 'net. With that said, it seems the author is trying to over-inflate the information here with this grand notion that it'll be visible from space.

Trash science does not help to make a convincing argument.

I dont know, maybe I just have a skewed perspective on the value of a dollar. $500,000,000 seems like an excessive amount of money for an embassy. In Iraq. A country most Americans can't even locate on a globe.

That's the problem with revolutions, sometimes a power vacuum can destroy what could be a beautifull transformation. On top of that, I have dual citizen ship, and voted in the last election, whi...

Khram Happy Canada Day!
Today is the day the greatest nation that ever existed on Earth began 142 years ago. Canadians have much to be proud of. However, even the greatest nation on Earth still has its problems.The Russians threaten our airspace with their shitty planes and violate our sovereign waters with their submarines up in the Arctic. We should be shooting their planes down and sinking their subs as they cross our borders without warning. None of our politicians have the balls to at...
