an iraqi metaphor

Seems the construction on the new US embassy in Baghdad isn't going so well. For example, a kitchen to feed the embassy guards was finished way after schedule, and when they tried to cook in there electrical wires began to melt and they had to abandon the effort.

This is a nice little metaphor for the Republican adventure in Iraq. First, things aren't going to plan at all. And you wonder how KBR got the job -- bet it was a sweetheart, no-bid deal.
