$1 billion a year to operate

The $740 million compound - expected to cost more than $1 billion a year to operate - was originally expected to cost $600 million to build and was to open in September 2007. Design changes and faulty construction caused repeated delays.

A new command and control center like Pentagon in Middle East? Till today they have spend around 3 Trillion Dollars in the name of invasion and occupation. This building clearly shows that this has no end and they don't care about what anyone else think about what they do.

Raise your hand if you care more for the Iraqis then you do for the troops fighting to protect them.
