Will one of the rides be called the Green Zone?
“The people need this kind of positive influence. It’s going to have a huge psychological impact,” Werner told The Times.
“There is a shortage of entertainment in the city. Cinemas can’t open. Playgrounds can’t open. The fun park is badly needed for Baghdad. Children don’t have any opportunities to enjoy their childhood,” said Ali al-Dabbagh, spokesman for the Baghdad municipal government.
The project will cost $500 million and will be managed by Iraqis, The Times reports.
Under the terms of the lease, Werner will retain exclusive rights to housing and hotel developments, which he says will be both culturally sensitive and enormously profitable.
“I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t making money,” Werner said. “I also have this wonderful sense that we’re doing the right thing – we’re going to employ thousands of Iraqis. But mostly everything here is for profit.”
A $1 million skateboard park, the first phase of the development, will open in July, The Times reports. The larger entertainment park, designed by Ride and Show Engineering Inc, will follow in phases.
Gosh,that sounds like real progress in Baghdad! Why isn’t the MSM reporting this? It should be on the 6 o’clock news.
I’d like to make a suggestion: They add a circus! They could have clowns made up like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, plus the bloated buffoon Ted Kennedy to entertain the crowd!
The msm along with the looney left do not want to acknowledge that Iraq is successful in any way, shape or form. I heard it referred to as a war of aggression last weekend and couldn’t believe they still preferred Saddam was left in power. He wasn’t really a threat you know? NOT! :-w
They want a zoo?
How about America giving them donations to there zoo? Hillary, Obama, Kerry, Gore, Kennedy, Carter, Dancey Nancy,?? Oppps guess that would be an over abundance of jackass’s.
lb, they need some more prominent useful idiots to balance out the concentration of jackasses you listed:
Bill Maher, the Rodent. Next time you see this puke, take a look at his face. He looks like a big rat.
Alan Colmes, the Turtle. Next tiem you surf by Hannity & Colmes, check it out. A friend pointed it out to me and I LMAO! Alan does indeed look like a turtle, like that dopey one in the old cartoons.
Rosie O’Donnell, the Water Buffalo. Self explanatory.
Yup, I couldn’t have said it better. Alan the Turtle and Rosie O’Donnell, water buffalo (btw you are insulting the water buffalo). I always thought Stuart Smalley looked like a de-feathered bird in fright! =))
Rosie O’Donald now I will have to say, the Water Buffalo is a #10 in comparison to her big nasty mouth and butt. Gross! She and pastor ? Wright run neck and neck as to who you would dislike the most. It would be a disgusting tie. Alan the Yertle Turtle, good description, and he’s about that slow to catch on to what is happening. DUH! Bill Maher, total puke freak rat. gagwithspoon! You did great with this Robert, now tell me how you see the ‘Dick’ Morris. Let’s all have a go at that crooked mouth loser.:d
Ah, the toesucker. He has gone to great lengths to explain his media betrayal of the Klintons; he says he worked for Bill only and never liked Hitlary. And he now regrets having worked for the Klintons at all because Bill’s success positioned Hitlary for her own run at the Senate and now the WH.
He still comes across as a slimy character. I haven’t come up yet with what animal he looks like, or at least could be characterized by.
I’ll admit the “Dick” Morris is a hard nut to crack. Hint, Hint! We’ll have to work on that a bit, maybe the head of one the tail of another, since he’s bi-polar.
Robert
No my list was’nt complete. Toss those 2 in, but for O’Donnell, Water Buffalo?? I thought maybe she belongs in an aquarium, that big fat whale. Hey a whale? insted of Bagdad, release her in the Pacific, where the Japenese whalers could harpoon her. Engough oil to last years as fuel, and enough blubber to feed all the Eskimo’s in the world!
