Also, I remember the old embassy property being described (many years ago) as one of the very best properties in ALL of London. Even if this process was initiated in the Bush admin. (big deal, we know that Bush RINOs can be awful, too), the whole thing stinks. Did we really need to give up one of the best properties in London for hundreds of millions below market value?????
Granted, major security upgrades were probably in order, but was this the best way to achieve them??????
As long as the US owned the land, they could torn the whole thing Dow and built a proper embassy with whatever enhancements they needed.
the one thing I have learned about the bush family is that they are just as corrupt as the Clinton family. the only difference is that as a family they have been at it serval generations and are more adept at hiding there crimes. I would not be surprised if we learned that agents and business friends of the bush family benefited from this deal.
Why didn’t we demo the old building and rebuild at the same location?
