The President Talks Turkey

Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia came to give the U.S. one last chance to save the world from the
terrible mess Bush has made in the Middle East since his inauguration. From Bush's rather retarded efforts to dissemble at his press conference, it seems pretty evident predict that Abdullah got a pickup truck full of Texas grade horseshit.

I am sure the entire world will be comforted with Bush's keen insight and home spun Texas hospitality when the Middle East blows up because of Israel's actions. And I am sure Abdullah was pleased that in
response to Arab demands for stopping Israeli genocide against the Palestinians, Bush's intelligent response was that he "took great delight in being able to drive him around in a pickup truck and showing him the trees and my favorite spots. And we saw a wild turkey, which was good."

A really great read for those interested in observing how a retarded mind works.

"PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, Stretch, we just sent somebody to the region. And that somebody has just returned from the region. And his name is Colin Powell. And we're exploring all options. A lot of our discussion with the Saudi delegation was how to get back on the path to peace. Clearly, there's some things that must be done in the short run -- finish the withdrawal by Israel, for the Palestinian Authority to clamp down on terror. We discussed that in very
plain and straightforward terms.

As to where we head from now, one of the things that I think is important for the Crown Prince to have heard is we're interested in his advice, we're interested in his counsel. We share a vision and I reminded him how much I appreciated his statement toward Israel. I thought that was a breakthrough moment. And it -- and then he went and sold that in Beirut, and I appreciated that, as well.

So there's a shared vision. And as to how to achieve that vision is something we must consult with our friends. And that's what this meeting was about. It went on quite a while because there was a lot to discuss, plus, I want you to know, I had the honor of showing him my ranch. He's a man who's got a farm and he understands the land, and I really took great delight in being able to drive him around in a pickup truck and showing him the trees and my favorite spots. And we saw a wild turkey, which was good. But we had a very good discussion, and I'm honored he came to visit."

And as to Saudi support for an almost certain oil boycott, I am sure Bush's oil friends have already put in place schemes on how to profit on the coming oil boycott. And, hell, Zogby polling released a study where 75% of the American public in 1974 did not even realize that American support for Israeli agression in 1973 was the cause of the 1973 Arab oil embargo against the US. I am sure Georgie will tell us all that the Arabs have cut our oil supply because the Arabs hate our freedom, and way of life.

Marc Rich we need you again. Now that you have been pardoned, please call home and arrange to rape the American people and steal our money during the next US oil fiasco.
