Pigs, Historic Violence in Mideast and one DISASTER of a President
Edited on Thu Jul-13-06 07:29 PM by jackstraw45
What times we live in when on a day of HISTORIC violence in the mideast, the "highlight" of a German/USA leadership meeting, according to Reuters, is a PIG ROAST.

ACTUAL exchange during the press conference:
_____________________________________________________

Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed? And do you see a risk of triggering wider war?

And on Iran, they've so far refused to respond. Is it now past the deadline or do they still have more time to respond?

BUSH: I thought you were going to ask about the pig.

Q: Curious about that, too.

BUSH: The pig? I'll tell you tomorrow after I eat it.
