Bush and Saudi Arabia and Iraq
May 7, 2005 12:47 AM

During Prince Abdullah's (of Saudi Arabia) recent hand-holding visit to Bush's ranch, our lame-ass press failed to ask him, "Why was a member of your delegation denied entry into the US after authorities found his name on a government terrorist "watch" list?

Did you miss this story?

And what about this little itty-bitty story that hasn't received any press in this country, either? It appears, according a secret United Kingdom memo leaked to the press, that "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

Got that? The intelligence and facts were being "fixed around the policy!" What? I thought our president didn't lie to us...

And lastly, back to Iraq, and this little refresher course on the culture of religion in Saudi Arabia from the conservative National Review. Isn't it swell how our president held hands with that tyrant, Prince Abdullah?
