Bush, Schroeder Put Bitter War Feud Behind Them
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=4457606

<snip>
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder put their bitter feud over the Iraq war behind them on Friday but Schroeder brought up a new problem: the dollar's weakness against the euro.

"We've had differences in the past. But there's nothing wrong with friends having differences and we are both committed to put the differences behind us and move forward," Bush told reporters as he and Schroeder sat side-by-side in the Oval Office.

Schroeder said he told Bush of German concerns about the weakness of the dollar versus the euro, which Germany feels is depressing German exports.

The official U.S. position on the dollar -- which Schroeder said Bush repeated to him -- is that the administration backs a strong U.S. currency. But a cheaper dollar has helped the United States cope with its current record trade imbalance because it makes U.S.-produced exports cheaper in foreign markets.

4. or here, a slightly diferent perspective


A wagon at the carnival paade in Cologne. The sign in Schröder'S hand reads "you mine too", a cussword reply to "Lick my ass".

2. More Brilliant Words From Mr. Bush
From the article below:

Speaking of their relationship, Bush said: "The chancellor has got a good sense of humor. And therefore he is able to make me laugh. And a person who can make me laugh is a person who is easy to be with."

The King needs a court jester to follow him around, a juggler, a buffoon. to amuse him.

9. Yeesh, what a self-centered jerk
Other people's attributes are described in ways that refer to *him*.

He makes me laugh, therefore he's all right.

7. When a Bushevik proffers his hand in friendship, watch the other
hand behind it's back which usually holds a knife.

12. These two in one picture are too much for me to take...
I need a drink or two. I can only stand one of these miserable failed human beings simultaneous. Any country, who harbours one of them should be preemptively attacked. Just saw a CEO of Goldman&Sachs in Chicago congratulating Socialdemocrat Schröder for lecturing the Americans that they have to outsource more jobs.
Shut them down!
Hello from Germany,
Dirk
