Bush pops in for a quickie

Stardate 5913.45

Bush popped into Baghdad for a surprise visit with the new PM, Nouri al-Maliki today. Maybe it's just me, but I always wonder what people like this are really thinking when they are shaking hands with the most dangerous man on earth... Is this guy really happy to be meeting the man who in essence gave him power, yet is responsible for plunging his country into the chaotic mess it is in today? What about other world leaders? Take Tony Blair for example... he has ran alongside McChimpy since the beginning.

Frankly, I think that since they killed Zarqawi, a small player in the chaos that has become Iraq to begin with, and al-Qaeda has named a replacement, he had to stop by and make a photo-op visit, just to show them that the US is still there... I am starting to think that I would like to see this ended once and for all, say with an arm-wrestling death match between George and Osama. Now *that* would be entertaining...
