Wisconsin federal taxes to support golf courses and amusement parks - in Baghdad

Tigris Woods Golf Course and Resort

The U.S. Army has developed architectural drawings for a "Tigris Woods Golf and Country Club Resort" for a planned "zone of influence" in Baghdad, and the Boston Herald is reporting that the plans have the support of the Pentagon.

There are also plans for an amusement park.

There are many appaling questions that deserve answers about this given the lack of electricity, running water, civil war atmosphere, much less who will maintain security for people standing in line to ride a rollercoaster in a war zone.

But generally, who could possibly think this is a good return on investment? Unless of course, the investment is guaranteed and backed by U.S. taxpayers.

Think Progress has the details.
