Great Wads of Wampum!
The trillion dollar (that's trillion) embassy we are building in Baghdad, Iraq has suddenly become impossible to complete!
Not for a lack of money, we have that to burn over there, but from lack of Mexican labor!
It seems that not too many of the Iraqis are sufficiently qualified to work there or they simply won't, due to the danger of going home at the end of the day.
I don't know the breakdown of the ethnicity of the workers, but I suspect there are a lot of Filipinos and other foreign workers there. I don't know where they sleep and eat--maybe in the green zone.
Still, the project is so cumbersome and full of design mistakes that it may never be completed.
I think the original idea was to stay there forever with an army, in the embassy, under ground with 20 foot concrete walls. Oil rigs could be mounted sideways underground to begin pumping oil from the fields at an angle, into the embassy in the green zone and then flown out similar to the Berlin airlift, (a two mile long runway is being built), between East and West Berlin in Germany after WWII, when the Russians blocked the roads.
This will also serve as our primary command base for Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. There will be a four-star mercenary there!
All of this of course depends upon what Russia and China and North Korea force us into soon! The French will help however, making a coalition.
