If at first you don't succeed
Just get another contract from your buddy Bushie and show the world that it was no accident.
A year after problems emerged in the construction of the new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, another State Department post being built largely by the same Kuwaiti-based company is engulfed by delays, recriminations, and an Inspector General's probe, according to U.S. officials.State Dept. officials have asked for patience as this will probably be First Kuwaiti's last chance for some time to loot the Treasury along with Georgie's other buddies. Give them time to maximize their profits.
The embassy building, in the central African nation of Gabon, was supposed to be finished by April 2009.
Instead, according to U.S. officials and to documents obtained by McClatchy, the $55 million complex is only 7 percent complete. Workers are still excavating the construction site in the Gabonese capital of Libreville, and early 2010 is the new target date for completion. State Department officials confirmed that the department's inspector general is actively examining the project, but declined to provide details.
