Bush to Host Saudi's Abdullah at Ranch -Official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah is expected to meet with President Bush at his Crawford, Texas, ranch later this month, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

The official declined to discuss the agenda. But the Wall Street Journal said surging oil prices and the fight against global terror are likely to be discussed. The date for the meeting has not been set.

Abdullah has visited the ranch before, in April 2002 for a meeting that focused on a period of heightened tension between Palestinians and the Israelis.

When Bush invites world leaders to his Prairie Chapel ranch, it often signals an importance he places on the relationship.

1. Tet-a-Tet with Sharon? Ariel also due to visit the ranch soon.
Their announcement of "Middle East peace in our time" will surely drown out all the sorrows.

No? Just don't take any helicopter rides.

5. It ain't a RANCH, it is a former PIG FARM!!!
No horsies, no nuthin...just BRUSH. Great place to invite an Arab and a Jew, to a PIG FARM. Idiot!!!! The "real treatment" is the White House, putting their crew up at Blair House, pomp and circumstance, and a really good meal in conjunction with a State Dinner with cool guests and some fine postprandial entertainment by A list performers, not Kool Aid and Pork Rinds out in the middle of nowhere.

Obtuse jerk! Who wants to leave a palace for a pig farm in the middle of hell? There's not even any decent shopping nearby! Oh, I'll bet the lackeys working for these guys are just thrilled...not!

12. Ranch, huh?
How many head does he run down there? Gotta be a whole helluvalot to be considered a RANCH in Texas. Even to be considered a FARM, you'd better have some animals. If you have no animals, you just call it "a place down in Crawford."

/we have a family farm north of Crawford, this Texan knows what a real fucking ranch is

20. yeah, and don't forget...
...the Conneticut yankee fake "cowboy" is SCARED of horses.

Horses are sensitive creatures who can sense a jerk coming a mile away. They also respond poorly to violence and force, and will defend themselves accordingly, undoubtedly why * avoids them.

23. The real reason Bush is afraid of horses...
The real reason Bush is afraid of horses...


In his late twenties, George Bush decided to go horseback riding. Although he has had no previous experience he skillfully mounted the horse and appeard in complete command of the situation as the horse galloped along at a steady pace.

After a short time George become cocky and attempted some rodeo moves he had seen on TV. He quickly lost his grip on the saddle, panicked, and grabbed the horse around the neck shouted for it to stop. George had by that time had slipped completely out of the saddle and was only saved from hitting the ground by the fact that he still has a grip on the horses neck.

George decided that his best chance was to leap away from the horse, and as he leapt, his foot become entangled in one of the stirrups and his head started banging on the ground as the horse galloped along.

George, paniced and fearing for for his life, started screaming,"help!!!!"

Hearing his screams, the K-Mart manager casually walks out of the store and unpluged the horse.

10. To Think that Laura will Serve Food to this Scumbag Abdulah...
_
Hard Comment:
As Oil Prices Continue to Choke American Families Nationwide, Bush Invites Prince Abdulah, an Anti American Family Value man, the Leader of Saudi Arabia, the Country that Teaches in its schools
Anti Christianity and Anti Jew Dark Age lessons to its nations youth.

Prince Abdulah also oversees Public Beheadings and the cutting off limbs of his nations people. .

George and Laura will not only have this degenerate in their home, but will Serve food on their families China to this Guy.

Saudi Aramco Plans to Build $5 Billion Refinery in Yanbu

Jeddah, 6 Apr 2005

Saudi Aramco plans to build a multibillion dollar export-oriented refinery with a 400,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) capacity in the Red Sea city of Yanbu.

/snip/

Investment for the plant will run to $4 billion-$5 billion, he said.

Saudi Aramco wanted to form a joint venture with one or more international partners for the facility, he said. "We are talking across the globe to all refiners," he said, adding that the deal should be finalized "within a year or so."

21. Also visited the ranch April 2001.
Visits to Crawford by Foreign Heads of State!

(Can't vouch for the reliability of this link; after all, it's referring to the "Saudie" prince)
