Specifically, the article needs a ground-level photo of the embassy grounds. Twinxor t 02:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed category
I removed Category:Occupation of Iraq. The embassy is a US government project, but is not in principle a military base, so it's not part of the military occupation. Twinxor t 22:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
.....Don't be so naive of course it's part of the military occupation
Yes, after all, with that logic we currently occupy over 192 nations in the world because of the presence of the US Embassy. I always get confused when I walk around DuPont Circle. I can never tell who's invading us because of so many different Embassies! Last night it seemed the French were occupying us.
Twixnor, I agree whole heartedly, there needs to be clear delineation between the Foreign Service, the military (DoD) and even the Coalition Provisional Authority. I will work on getting more information and pictures to build this article. Thank you for moving it.--Samfisch (talk) 22:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy
Why is there no mention in the article of the controversy over buidling such a gargauntuan embassy? Some of the linked sources do specifically refer to the Iraqi people being angry about it, and their referring to the embassy as "George W's palace", but our article makes no mention at all of this.

- I AGREE ABSOLOUTELY, I will add section later What about the slavery controversy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evRPwwyno_c
Not sure any of those sources mention any sources... 83.254.64.19 20:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
How about something about the negative consequences of even having an embassy there? Or, at the very least, the broken promise before the invasion that there would be no permanent bases in Iraq. Sure, it's an embassy, but how would it be seen? 129.49.12.0 (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
