It’s the type of public works project that should have started almost immediately after the invasion to keep people busy and out of trouble.

Actually, building a trench around Baghdad will keep many people busy, if they dig with shovels.

I’ll second the heliport; it was a bit dicey getting people out of the Saigon embassy.

I vote for the medieval moat – it will give future archaeologists something interesting to ponder.

I hope they are planning to build a nice big heliport on top the embassy.

At this point I doubt anyone wants a contract. As you say, the whole country is awash with the contents of Saddam’s weapons dumps, every house is permitted an AK-47 and a pistol, there are tons of high explosives gone missing because there were no troops available to guard them. It’s a mess.

It’s liking locking yourself inside the cage with the hungry tiger.

I’m sure they’ll be careful not to cut through the sewer, water, and gas lines as they dig these trenches, just like the public works people in the West. [/snark]

Wow Bryan that sounds like hare and brained coming together! Am I being cynical or could a GOP president be looking to curry favour moneywise from the company that gets the contract? Seriously I doubt it would help much. I am sure the insurgents in Baghdad have enough of an arsenal to continue perpetrating their vile little acts for the foreseeable future
