Seriously, can anyone explain to me why the elected leader of the Land of the Free insists on holding hands like a fucking lovebird with the evil dictator who misrules the country that produced 15 of 19 Sept. 11 hijackers, and is the single biggest exporter and financier of Islamic nutbaggery? Why do they always insist on holding handsies?

Tells you who's zooming who, ainna? He'll go lob missiles and GI's at Bagdhad, but when the Saudi's show up, he's afraid to offend the guy by not abiding by his customs even though (a) he's on American turf and (b) he (or his press agents) know damn well it makes him look like a flamer.

Not that there's a damn thing wrong with that. Either being a flamer, or making Duh-bya look like one in front of his rabid reactonary constituency.

SOB couldn't be bothered to learn the name of the new second in command of his Joint Chiefs. But he knows to hold hands with this Arab poobah...
