that won't house a single inmate... so... how does this help our economy?

I wonder who the contractor(s) is/are...

And this is a miniscule portion af the billions we have pissed away in Iraq.

Just like here, waste by the government.
But for every project like that, i'm sure there are good ones.
But anyone that wants to slant that everything we did there is bad, they will of course only show the stuff that didn't work. Thats the liberal media for you.

Damn the liberal media. I bet they made the Packers lose those close games aswell.

Anyway, this does indeed look like a big waste of money. Maybe some unlucky people that lost their homes can use it as a shelter or something? I don't think it'll go completely unused, but still, big waste.

Our wonderful government spent $100 million building a police academy for the Iraqi police force. The structure was so shoddily constructed that raw sewage was flowing down the hallways of the second floor. The entire thing had to be destroyed.

I hate being so cynical, but when China does finally assume the status of world's only superpower, I'm going to be saying we have no one to blame but ourselves. I might even take a bit of sardonic amusement from it.
