Chimpy goes to The Mid-East


In Ramallah:
"You'll be happy to know, my whole motorcade of a mere 45 cars was able to make it through without being stopped," Bush said after being asked about the 30-minute journey from Jerusalem.

"I'm not so exactly sure that's what happens to the average person."



At Israel's Holocaust Museum:
Upon viewing an aerial shot of Auschwitz Concentration Camp,

"We should have bombed it." Bush said.


Please add more.

1. Bush in Kuwait to seek Gulf backing against Iran
KUWAIT CITY (AFP) — US President George W. Bush met Kuwait's emir on Friday after arriving in the emirate to start a Gulf tour aimed at rallying the support of Arab allies against what he calls the Iranian "threat."

Bush flew into Kuwait from Israel after his first presidential trip to the Holy Land, where he said he believed a Middle East peace treaty would be signed within a year and called on Arab nations to reach out to the Jewish state.

His tour of Washington's closest friends in the oil-rich Gulf region comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran over a naval confrontation in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

But several commentators in the region have voiced strong misgivings about his intentions, amid fears Washington could resort to military action to halt Iran's disputed nuclear drive.

Although Kuwait is welcoming Bush as a friend, officials have said the emirate will not allow the United States to use its territory as a launchpad for any strike against Iran.

"Mr President, the region needs smart initiatives not smart bombs," the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai said in a front-page editorial.

His claims of a peace visit nothing more than picking teams, prodding and goading for more War.

3. meanwhile,
while trying to establish peace in the Mid East, the current resident of the White House in the United States of America, pledged full out war against those Iranians that would thwart his plans. the mofo is an asshat of the first degree, not meaning to degrade asshats anywhere.
