BAGHDAD - The newly formed government of this war torn middle eastern country has decided to seek other digs, it was announced today. "With so many of our young ones grown up or dead, we thought it was time," said President Jalal Talabani. "Rambing around in this drafty old country can be depressing. Plus, interest rates are only gonna go up." The U.S. State Department was caught off guard by the announcement, but pledged to cooperate. "We're really going to miss them," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "Our kids grew up together. I remember sitting in the porch swing summer evenings, watching them catch fireflies in mason jars and blow up security checkpoints," she sniffed. "Those were simpler times." Several buyers have already expressed an interest in the large fixer upper. Iran was first in line at the open house held over the weekend by ReMax/Fallujah's Abdullah El Zawahari Weinstein-Johnston. "Iran has noisy neighbors on their Afghan side, so they'd like to add a game room to the west wing," said the broker. "Plus, they could use the oil reserves to fund exportation of Islamic fundamentalism. It's a win-win." Once the sale is complete, Iraq plans a move to Nevada for the prostitution and ample nuclear dump sites.
