Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region.

Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.

The news circulated Thursday in non-official sources in Asuncion, Paraguay.

D Elia considered this Bush step counterproductive for the regional power expressed by Presidents Nestor Kirchner, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

He said that "it is a bad signal that the Bush family is doing business with natural resources linked to the future of MERCOSUR."

The official pointed out that this situation could cause a hypothetical conflict of all the armies in the region, and called attention to the Bush family habit of associating business and politics.

Oh my God.

Darling I hate to tell you but I think I’m catching a cold
Put another chair on the fire bring the bottle over here
I feel I’m getting old
I like your laugh and a hot romance
and your orn’ry sense of humor
but if it rains again like it did today
I’m gonna have to leave a little bit sooner

Got to get me some South America sun

Honey don’t even ask me if you can come along
Down at the border you need to be older
and you sure don’t look like my daughter
Your ridiculous age, start a state outrage
and I’ll end up in a Mexican jail
Darling please don’t cry you know I wouldn’t tell you no lie

Look over there
Oh my God don’t look now
but it appears to be raining again
Get upstairs pack my book of prayers
Honey hurry I’m catching pneumonia
I gotta move while I’m in the mood
or I’ll disappear into that wall
Darling please don’t curse
it really couldn’t be any worse
Say I’m a sun fanatic but it’s dark in your attic
and your cat sleeps over my head

I know I’m not a football star
but I wanna little better than that
So I’m much obliged for the pure white ride
and a cup of tea every morning
I’ll say goodbye, look your man in the eye
you know I wouldn’t tell you no lie

So after all, I'll see you in the fall
on a brand new day, brand new way
Goodbye honey, goodbye honey
Goodbye honey, it ain't funny
Goodbye honey, I know it ain't funny

98 thousand acres. Wow! That's not a bad idea though. Cheap land in 3rd world countries.

[loborugger]

Not a bad idea until a new regime comes along and declares your ownership null and void. Now, when you have the clout of the Bush family, that probably wont happen. But I wouldnt buy land in a banana republic.

When you ruin a baseball franchise or an oil company that's not a big deal but when you bring down your country you better have a back up plan like a big ranch far away.

Well, at least the frat boy will have a nice soft landing on his new spread in his new host country after he's done turning America into a banana republic.

Bush's Paraguay Land Grab
(http://www.counterpunch.org/cp10202006.html)
By CP News Wire

Asuncion, Paraguay.

The land grab project of U.S. President George W. Bush in Chaco, Paraguay, has generated considerable discomfort both politically and environmentally.

The news circulating the continent about plans to buy 98,840 acres of land in Chaco, Paraguay, near the Triple Frontier (Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay) is the talk of the town in these countries.

Although official sources have not confirmed the information that is already public, the land is reportedly located in Paso de Patria, near Bolivian gas reserves and the Guarani indigenous water region, within the Triple Border.

Alto Paraguay Gov. Erasmo Rodriguez Acosta revealed he heard that part of the land purchase consists of an ecological reserve (Fundacion Patria), with which Bush is affiliated.

In its interview with Rodriguez Acosta, neike.com.py reported that he does not have documentation of this affiliation and it could not communicate either with the foundation or with the National Rural Development and Land Institute, in charge of these state lands.

Concern increased last week with the arrival of Bush's daughter, Jenna, and a source from the Physical Planning Department saying that most of the Chaco region belongs to private companies.

Luis D'Elia, Argentina´s undersecretary for Land for Social Habitat, says the matter raises regional concern because it threatens local natural resources.

He termed it "surprising" that the Bush family is trying to settle a few short miles from the US Mariscal Estigarribia Military Base.

Argentinean Adolfo Perez Esquivel warned that the real war will be fought not for oil, but for water, and recalled that Acuifero Guaraní is one of the largest underground water reserves in South America, running beneath Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (larger than Texas and California together).

"The southern U.S. states are already struggling with water shortages," asserted the 1980 Nobel Peace Prizewinner.

Orlando Castillo, Paraguay Peace and Justice Service member, recalled the US military buildup in Chaco under a bilateral agreement.
