Bush (Prematurely) announces Denver as Baghdad's Sister City!!!

[hlthe2b]

Denver goes whah?!!!!!!!!!

DENVER -- --snip--
City officials and members of the Denver Regional Council of Governments were caught off-guard by a news release announcing the partnership Wednesday.

The White House promised that Denver -- which faces a possible $33 million budget shortfall in 2005 -- will give Baghdad "humanitarian assistance" and "other aid initiatives." But Denver area officials say no vote was taken on the proposal.

Denver officials say they have had no contact with the White House about the program and only an informal discussion with Baghdad Interim City Advisory Council members when they visited in December.

**************************
Apparently Pickles is involved in this as well:
First lady Laura Bush announced Wednesday that Dallas is one of three U.S. cities to gain an Iraqi sister city, part of the Partners for Peace Initiative.

Dallas will provide humanitarian aid to Kirkuk in northeastern Iraq in the unofficial partnership. Denver has been paired with Baghdad and Tucson, Ariz., with Sulaymaniyah.
