Bush compró rancho en Irak
Vivirá en él cuando se retire

Inocencio Facundia, Univision Online

28 de Diciembre de 2005

Por motivos de inversión y políticos
El ultimátum de Barbara y Jenna a sus padres

Documentos secretos analizados por Univision.com revelan que el presidente de Estados Unidos George W. Bush compró a principios de diciembre una propiedad de 850 hectáreas (unos 2,100 acres) en las afueras de Bagdad, donde piensa establecer un rancho para su uso personal.

Por motivos de inversión y políticos

Según una fuente secreta dentro de la Casa Blanca, que habló en condición de anonimato, Bush comenzó a estudiar la inversión durante su viaje sorpresa el día de Acción de Gracias de 2003.

En ese entonces, sus asesores iraquíes convencieron al presidente que el terreno desértico en los alrededores de Bagdad puede ser muy fértil si se utilizan las técnicas agrícolas estadounidenses.

Apoyado en eso y en lo barato del precio (18 millones de dinares iraquíes, o aproximadamente 12,350 dólares), el presidente decidió comprar el terreno para demostrar que Irak es un modelo de seguridad y de democracia en Oriente Medio.

[EFerrari]

2. Are you sure this isn't a joke?

"para demostrar que Irak es un modelo de seguridad y de democracia en Oriente Medio"

"to demonstrate that Iraq is a model of security and democracy in the Middle East." ?

[Warpy]

3. Maybe we can talk him into retiring there

After all, things are going just great in Iraq, aren't they?

[converted_democrat]

4. No way....Who here speaks spanish, and can translate??

Why would he want land in Iraq??

[EFerrari]

12. Gloria summed it up very well.

The article says he's buying the land for his personal use and the headline suggests that he plans to retire there.

We should only be so lucky!

[converted_democrat]

15. There is something wrong with this picture.....

Why would he want land in Iraq?? I bet there is more here than meets the eye...

[EFerrari]

20. Satire. I don't think Monkey Boy plans to retire in Iraq.

:)

[converted_democrat]

29. I was sitting here wondering to myself...Why would * want to retire in

a country that hates him even more than ours does?? Satire is indeed the only thing that makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up for me!

[EFerrari]

30. The propaganda is so outrageous any more, it's hard

to recognize well done satire! LOL!

[enid602]

7. ranch

for $6 an acre, he can't go wrong. Woudn't this investment make Bush eligible for Iraqi citizenship? Does the 'ranch' happen to have oil on it? Poppy fields?

[Gloria]

[EFerrari]

[HereSince1628]

13. Site for a new American League expansion team?

Has a US president EVER bought land in a country he had invaded?

Talk about a sick little Ceasar who needs to be close to his glorious victories.

[dpbrown]

14. I guess he'll be moving into those palaces soon, too

Since Iraq gave up one dictator for another, he might as well move right in.

[Lost-in-FL]

17. Check out the Kool-aid talk (translation to English)

Check all this Kool-aid

"Laura Bush es una mujer muy culta, y le recuerda a todo el mundo que el rancho está en Mesopotamia, la cuna de la civilización. Y hasta pueden tener reliquias del imperio babilónico. Además, muy cerca está Irán, que tiene valores morales y familiares paralelos a los del matrimonio presidencial", comentó.

Translation:
"Laura Bush is an incredibly smart lady (I don't think so) and reminds everyone that the Ranch would be in Mesopotamia, the crib of civilization. They can even have antiques belonging to the Babylonic era. Also, it is very close to Iran, a country were family and moral values are parallel to those of the Presidential marriage" HAHAHAHAHAHAH :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[EFerrari]

19. This is SATIRE.

LOL

[Lost-in-FL]

23. I don't think so... Univision news are a credible source.

It is not like CNN or the likes...

[TrueAmerican]

24. It's SATIRE FOLKS

TRANSLATION:

"Continuing a long journalistic tradition, in this date notes with improbable information are published that is projected as if was truth.

Obviously, Bush has not bought lands in Iraq, neither he thinks that the desert of Mesopotamia is fertile.

The zone of Al-Bobur does not exist, neither neither a called reporter Innocent Facundia. Said reporter was not called to the Oval Office for to be dissuaded to publish the article, neither his telephone calls were intervened, as is suggested.

Are neither real the native sources of the vice-presidency."

[Lost-in-FL]

26. I see it... in the next page...

my link is not working...

"Siguiendo una larga tradición periodística, en esta fecha se publican notas con información inverosímil que se proyecta como si fuera verdad.

Obviamente, Bush no ha comprado terrenos en Irak, ni piensa que el desierto de Mesopotamia es fértil."

[EFerrari]

27. Hey -- since when is satire not respectable?

:)

[Lost-in-FL]

22. This ought to be recommended... It is too much...

[EFerrari]

28. It's hilarious. n/t

[jimshoes]

25. It's a Spanish "Onion"

so to speak. Its a spoof. The disclaimer is on the second page.

[RagingInMiami]

31. You should hear how much the Spanish radio stations make fun of him

down here. It's non-stop.

[UTUSN]

33. Dec 28 Day of the Innocents - like April Fool's - & NBC bought Televisa

The Church holy day marking the supposed massacre of the infants by Herod. With the cynicism of time the "innocent" infants have been meshed into making fools/"innocents" of others, playing April Fool's jokes. Some links say that part of the tradition is not to lend money or things on that day because your pay-back will be---SUCKER! (or candy).

Day of the innocents

April Fool's Day

- 1° of April -

The origin of this celebration is not known, but the date probably derived from France, because when changing to the calendar Gregoriano, many olvidadizos, or conservatives, continued offering gifts of New Year 1° of April, date in which began the year previously.

The English began to celebrate this date in century XVIII. He is the equivalent one of the Day of the Innocent Saints, when jokes are made to try to deceive to "innocents".

34. Haha - the "reporter" is named "Innocent Eloquence/Fluency"

And the confidential source has the initials "D.C." and is "close to the office of the vice president." And the supposed ranch in Iraq is named "Crawford-Middle East". The item also says that Pickles is thrilled with the idea because the "ranch" is close to Iran, "which has the same high morals of the Shrub-Pickles marriage.

Others of the actions considered like inocentadas were those to disclose convincingly some false news, being part of the diversion the one that somebody was believed it?
