From the Archive: The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is the world’s biggest and most expansive embassy. The $700 million fortified compound is visible from space, larger than the Vatican and employs almost 4000 people. The buildings include “a movie theater, retail shops, restaurants, schools and a fire station. Iraqis still struggle with constant blackouts but inside the embassy compound, power, water treatment, sewage treatment and telecommunications facilities offer self-sufficiency for more than 1,000 diplomats stationed there.” I was only able to find a handful of photos of “Fortress America”. Above: Woodkern.
