US going ahead with Pakistan’s mega embassy project despite public resentment .

[A.M.]

I like this new embassy, it's been cited as the "new" pentagon, one bigger than the white house according to PTI workers - the first one in Asia and Pakistan gets to host it.

I agree with the secure part though - especially when in the past the US embassy was burnt down in Pakistan in 1979, so fortified and camouflaged bunkers, 3 helipads, a small air strip, at least a thousand marines stationed and accommodations for at least 5000 staffers seem like overkill, though hard working US tax payers money is getting spent on this.

One obviously would raise doubts on the need for such an embassy, especially when there is news that the US will soon be upgrading it's embassies in Lahore and Peshawar too.

The Pentagon is 600 acres. Stop trying, you're not funny.

Indian gave them 28 acres in 1950, what is the butt hurt if we gave them 43 in 2014.

Thanks for correcting!!

56/2.69 = 21 Soccer fields.

Can't imagine why they would need so much space - hope they don't repeat what 'East India Company' did to us.

USA embassy in Iraq is 104 acres.

"The Embassy of the United States of America in Baghdad is the diplomatic mission of United States of America in the Republic of Iraq. At 104 acres (42 ha), it is the largest and most expensive embassy in the world, and is nearly as large as Vatican City.[1] Ambassador Stuart E. Jones is currently the Chief of Mission.

The embassy complex employs 15,000 people and cost $750 million to build. The Embassy opened in January 2009 following a series of construction delays. It replaced the previous embassy, which opened July 1, 2004 in Baghdad's Green Zone in a former Palace of Saddam Hussein.[2]"

Us? Are you kidding? You were THEM.

Will Pakistan be receiving 56 acres in DC in return to expand its own embassy?

Seems like a village of sorts, self sufficient and state of the art as well.

Indian gave them 28 acres in 1950.

where?

 

[StormShadow]

If they wanted to spy, they can use the below:

1. The Embassy of the United States of America in Baghdad is the diplomatic mission of United States of America in the Republic of Iraq. At 104 acres (42 ha), it is the largest and most expensive embassy in the world, and is nearly as large as Vatican City.

They will use that one as well.

please be specific, Mushy is the culprit

Our politicians have sold out Pakistan to US.This video proves it.

 

[faisal6309]

I am curious why they have occupied such a big land for an embassy?

 

[tarrar]

It's a fortress they are building, not an Embassy. From it will come on chaos & anarchy.

Another "gem" from PressTV.

The embassy has all the necessary approvals and has been vetted by the power centers in Pakistan.

@Horus can you change this fellows flags?? he doesn't deserve a pakistani flag...

p.s. pathetic thread from a pahteticar source.

and a sad pathetic response by somebody blindly in love with the usa.... i was raised in the states. and i know 4 fact this embassy can't be good for pakistan.. american policticians are lowlifes just like pakistani politicians.

 

[qamar1990]

Good for India.

Is Pakistan = 100% India?

Even for a moment we assume that India has not put its foreign policy as a diitto copy of USA in the region.

ditto copy!


US tells India, don't buy weapons from Ruussians. indians say Ji Hajoor.

stop preaching to others... you don't look out 4 the well being of pakistan yourself so don't tell indians anything.
