said on AAR yesterday, rumor has it the bush twins were in
Argentina for another reason. The lady said on air that the twins were there to close a land deal for 5-10,000 acres in Paraguay for their dad. She said this would give Bush close to 100,000 acres of land in Paraguay. The country has no extradition treaty so the soon to be war criminal could live there should our dems in congress make life for him here to uncomfortable.

Can anyone say if they heard this too from another source? wondering where the lady got this? Does W own land in Paraquay?

24. My father is a retired DOD contracted nuclear engineer
and I never supported what he did.

Jenna and Barbara's father is a murderer and a war criminal, yet they still support him. There's no excuse for college grads to support such a man, therefore I consider them stupid. I bet they don't even know what their Dad is doing in Iraq.

Charles out to open a bridge. I suspect this was their 'virgin' family outing. Go to Paraquay, these are the people who will tell you what to do and where to sign. After they did all they were told to do, they stayed on and partied!

It was a test run to see if they could follow instructions for the benefit of the 'family'. While they may have followed instructions, they stayed toooo long @ the fair and drew uninvited attention to their trip. They still have much to learn - the BFEE demands performance in the shadows.

3. Something about, "the twins were there to close a land deal"..
Just doesn't sound right. They certainly know how to open lots of beer and open their clothing for all to see, but I doubt they have a clue how to close a land deal.

7. Maybe a clause in the Paraguyan law requires a family member
to sign paperwork on property purchases - that a lawyer can do the dealing, but he can't do the signing.

This is, of course, off the top of my head with absolutely no basis in fact.

4. I would think there are plenty of Bush retainers who do this sort of thing
I doubt that they'd send the twins around the world brokering land deals.

8. This link seems to imply there is an extradition treaty
between Paraguay and the US. Apologies if I'm misreading it.

And maybe Jenna and the Other One are just decoys. :-)

12. I found this at Wonkette by googling. There is a military base there

"As far as we can understand, all the paperwork and deeds and such are secret. But somehow the news leaked that a new “land trust” created for Bush had purchased nearly 100,000 acres near the town of Chaco.

And Jenna’s down there having secret meetings with the president and America’s ambassador to Paraguay, James Cason. Bush posted Cason in Havana in 2002, but last year moved him to Paraguay.

Cason apparently gets around. A former “political adviser” to the U.S. Atlantic Command and ATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, Cason has been stationed in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama … basically everywhere the U.S. has run secret and not-so-secret wars over the past 30 years.

Here’s a fun question for Tony Snow: Why might the president and his family need a 98.840-acre ranch in Paraguay protected by a semi-secret U.S. military base manned by American troops who have been exempted from war-crimes prosecution by the Paraguyan government?
Here’s a little background on the base itself, which Rumsfeld secretly visited in late 2005:

U.S. Special Forces began arriving this past summer at Paraguay’s Mariscal Estigarribia air base, a sprawling complex built in 1982 during the reign of dictator Alfredo Stroessner. Argentinean journalists who got a peek at the place say the airfield can handle B-52 bombers and Galaxy C-5 cargo planes. It also has a huge radar system, vast hangers, and can house up to 16,000 troops. The air base is larger than the international airport at the capital city, Asuncion.

Some 500 special forces arrived July 1 for a three-month counterterrorism training exercise, code named Operation Commando Force 6.

Paraguayan denials that Mariscal Estigarribia is now a U.S. base have met with considerable skepticism by Brazil and Argentina. There is a disturbing resemblance between U.S. denials about Mariscal Estigarribia, and similar disclaimers made by the Pentagon about Eloy Alfaro airbase in Manta , Ecuador. The United States claimed the Manta base was a “dirt strip” used for weather surveillance. When local journalists revealed its size, however, the United States admitted the base..."

11. As much as I want that bastard on trial and found guilty
here in the US....I would be just as thrilled if he DID move his stupid ass and dumbo family out of this country. What a blessing that would be for America!

13. Just Like Disney Buying Up The Orlando Area Before Disney World....
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 12:10 PM by global1
could it be that * is looking to create Bushyworld?

Think of the different areas in his Bemusement park:

1. Tortureland
2. Liarland
3. Spyland
4. Warland
5. Delusionland

Instead of Sleeping Beauty's Castle he'll have the White House.

There will be a Cheney shooting gallery - basically a simulated hunting ground where participants can shoot each other.

Instead of the Hall of Presidents - he'll have the Hall of War Criminals

Boy this could go on and on. Any other ideas for his bemusement park?

16. Just like Clinton, Bush will Not leave Presidency willingly.
The Bush Family will move there in January 2009 to rule from afar and avoid being overrun by citizens storming the White House.

18. Got this info,
from this link; https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/pa.html

Economy Paraguay Top of Page
Economy - overview:
Landlocked Paraguay has a market economy marked by a large informal sector. This sector features both reexport of imported consumer goods to neighboring countries, as well as the activities of thousands of microenterprises and urban street vendors. Because of the importance of the informal sector, accurate economic measures are difficult to obtain. A large percentage of the population derives its living from agricultural activity, often on a subsistence basis. The formal economy grew by an average of about 3% annually in 1995-97, but averaged near-zero growth in 1998-2001 and contracted by 2.3 percent in 2002, in response to regional contagion and an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease. On a per capita basis, real income has stagnated at 1980 levels. Most observers attribute Paraguay's poor economic performance to political uncertainty, corruption, lack of progress on structural reform, substantial internal and external debt, and deficient infrastructure. Aided by a firmer exchange rate and perhaps a greater confidence in the economic policy of the DUARTE FRUTOS administration, the economy rebounded between 2003 and 2005, posting modest growth each year.

Sounds like a perfect place for him. He'll be gloriously rich and everyone else staggeringly poor.

:spray: (Hey, it's Friday! Most things are striking me as funny today for some reason.)

Given Bush's propensity to stick his foot in his mouth...

20. Shouldn't be a problem
Hasn't the Bush Administration already set a precedent for the CIA to kidnap fugitives from countries having no extradition treaties and hauling them before US courts? Of course, it only applies to terrorists! :sarcasm:
