Iraq's 'American Dream' Gated Community Now Almost Empty
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Kurdistan's Capital Erbil has been the boom town of Iraq, with developers pouring billions of dollars into the city's real-estate sector in recent years. Now the threat of Islamic State has put these ambitious expansion plans on hold. Bloomberg's Willem Marx reports. (Source: Bloomberg)

A "private investment arm" of the U.S. government provided 10 million.

Dick Fucking Cheney when he was Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush.

3. Wide ranging political corruption and half of American citizens embracing a corporate police state.

At the expense of their own interests.

5. Sounds like Rand Paul's America....

A weak central government? ☑
Lots of religious zealots? ☑
Guns everywhere? ☑
Survival of the fittest? ☑

6. If there were any needs we had here at home for "ten million dollars" . . .

This might seem like a disgraceful waste . . .

(Just kidding, of course, this is as disgraceful a waste of American taxpayers' dollars as any you are likely to find.)

building "Gated Communities" for Oil Workers in Kurdistan that are Gated.

I'm tired of my money going for WARS and Enriching Multinational Corporate Interests...and this guy...SAID is nothing but a Speculator and wants to be bailed out and he lives in Virginia in the USA....but he got that Loan from the Government to Fund Him!

Enough of this! Profiteers we've seen since Bush Invaded Iraq and now the Vulture Capitalists use our tax dollars to get U.S. Govt. Loans to build Gated Communities in ERBIL?

Speculators ....just like the USA/Spain/Portugal Housing BOOM AND BUST. And we PAY FOR THIS while we are under "Austerity Program" by the US FED and WALL STREET to pay for their CRIMINALITY ...for WHICH they will Never be Prosecuted as Criminals...but just Pay Fines

But, "Said" in this video is living off the American Dream building "Gated Communities" in Kurdistant. Capitalism using American's Tax Dollars to Prop up Speculators.

WHY...When Will It Stop? Do I have to have the IRS put me in Jail because I don't want to pay for this....or will I just "Go Along to Get Along?"

What to do....???

8. Egregious is not too strong a word

when we consider untold thousands of Iraqi's displaced, homeless, living in refugee camps, stranded on a mountain, etc., etc. Salt in the wound.
