On hot days they could spray the guests down with cholera flavored river water and have brightly painted charters from the Koran passing out little Iraqi flags and sweets . . . it could be built with 25 foot blast walls decorated with colorful images from the “Liberation” and festive flags of the “willing”.

An entertainment center and amusement park in Iraq? Why are they spending OUR money on sh*t like this? What about rebuilding New Orleans for our own displaced American brothers and sisters?

This is unfrickingbelievable.

Show Beluga Whale Cheney a sardine make it smile!

Can the average Iraqi citizen even afford to attend this park?

Yet even more proof Cheney is delusional. The man is now the official template for the type of man NOT to have in the executive branch.

um, surely you understand that this attraction is not meant for the “iraqi people”… well, in MY opinion, anyway… i mean, most iraqi people don’t have
any money to spend on such “entertainment” (the people with any money and
means have left town)…

no, this is for the amusement of the members and families of the permanent
occupation, the oil companies, and some special “tourists”…

… just MY take on this cultural slap-in-the-face…

All of this is strangely reminiscent of the decadent practices of the Roman empire and we know what happened to that…

With all the needs there, what sort of elitist, let them eat cake, attitude does it take to build Disneyland ?

Not to mention, another TP article quotes the person heading this as saying that he had come there because he can make money. With the population in severe poverty, nothing says love like tryiing to drain them of some more of their money.

I agree. Together!

I’m astounded that the Washington press corps aren’t laughing at Bush spokesmen or pie-ing them or throwing rotten vegetables and at the silence of the Media Editorial Commentariat. What a bunch or wusses!

A dozen other countries have partitioned capitals or more than one capital. When there is a new administration, it could announce that it will help Baghdadis willing to relocate to neighborhoods of co-religionists, or out of the city. Then it will turn Bush’s arrogant embassy into a hospital and rehabilitation center. Then it will tell Maliki’s government “We are getting out of Baghdad. You can remain here protected only by your own forces or move with us to a remote U.S. base where we will set up a more modest embassy and provide protection for your government for a limited time.”

EIGHTEEN HOLES OF A GOLF EXPERIENCE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET. EACH PUNCTURED-STEEL-PLATE FAIRWAY IS LINED WITH PRISTINE SAND DUNES. GREENS ARE SUPER FAST, AND VERY MOUNDY (mounds susceptible to sudden movements).

Hole locations on the fused-sand greens change with each rocket attack. looking for golf balls located more than 6? off the fairway is not advised. IED’s may be present, so look at your own risk. We have no beverage girls, so if you see one, she is probably a suicide bomber, and we advise running like hell. The golf term, “Through the green”, has been suspended here until further notice.

THOSE SURVIVING EIGHTEEN HOLES WILL BE GIVEN A SPECIAL T-SHIRT SAYING, “I SURVIVED THE BAGHDAD GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB, AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT.”

Of course, to entice families like mine, the government will supply unreliable body armor to the first 1000 visitors, as well as one of those over priced bottle fans that spray water (because they have no friggin’ air conditioners in the 120+ degree heat).

But wait, there’s more. If you put a deposit down now, the government can guarantee that if something awful were to happen while “vacationing”, they will fly the deceased to a neighboring country for the “official death”, then fly the body overnight, and secretly, so no one can witness.
SWEET!
