"Ten years ago this week (2013), Americans woke up to learn that the United States had invaded Iraq.
They had been told it would cost $50 billion and that it would end soon.
Forty-two days later the President declared Mission Accomplished, and that the U.S. would be greeted as liberators.
That all didn't work out as planned.
What did work out was a luxurious compound in the heart of Baghdad on
the banks of the Tigris where the thousands of Americans who would
remain behind could work, shop, eat, and relax in a palatial, $750 million embassy."... All images by Reuters via Business Insider
