The Future Green Zone

Orlando, Hawaii, Tahiti, and now... the Green Zone?

A $5bn (£2.5bn) tourism and development scheme for the Green Zone being hatched by the Pentagon and an international investment consortium would give the heavily fortified area on the banks of the Tigris a "dream" makeover that will become a magnet for Iraqis, tourists, business people and investors. About half of the area is now occupied by coalition forces, the US state department or private foreign companies.

So this is why we went to war in Iraq - to create the Tigris Woods Golf and Country Club. Apparently the elites want a little adventure, in the form of dodging bombs and bullets, when they look for R+R. Good thing we had that surge!
