Here's some irony for you

World's tallest building
The Burj Dubai, currently under construction in the United Arab Emirates, has eclipsed Taiwan’s Taipei 101 record-holding sky scraper to become the world’s tallest building. The tower will be 141 stories tall at completion.

Isn't it funny that people from the ME took out OUR tallest building, and now THEY are building one that will be the tallest?

LOL! I couldn't resist.

Um, two buildings, which were second and third tallest, respectively.

I saw it on TV.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

You mean we didn't win?

What happen?

I thought the war lovers with their tanks and big guns accomplished a mission.

HERE I have proof.



Not stop complaining. And go back to your reality TV.

But remember we were building massive buildings when they were riding around on camels and living in tents, and when the oil runs out guess where they will end up? Let them have there fun it won't last.
