    No one has ever explained to me why the heck the Saudis and Bush hold hands. Lord knows the Saudis don’t do this with other officials and I don’t remember Bush I or Clinton in pictures like this.

    Prince Salman: hah, hey did you see that guy lose a toe.

    President Bush: haha, yeah that was great, here I’ll get it.

    As much as I detest Micheal Moore, there is a special relationship between the Bushes and the Saud’s.

    The pro is that the Saudi’s have helped by increasing oil output when we needed it.

    The con is Saudi cash is still financing terror, Madrassa’s are being built here and Sharia is an increasing threat, not a decreasing threat.

    In Washington, the Saudi ambassador is virtually a correspondent on CNN where Wolf Blitzer plays the role of a cupcake. In contrast to his sharp questioning when an Israeli guest is on CNN, Mr. Blitzer gets all warm and fuzzy when the Saudi ambassador comes on CNN. Wolf never asks him how just about all the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi citizens and about how the royal family sucks up all the money in Saudi Arabia and sends it to off shore accounts. Instead, Mr. Blitzer asks tough questions like: “Do you think Israel will accept the generous Saudi peace proposal and do you think Israel will become more reasonable?”

    When you have a sword in one hand and a Saudi in the other, the course of action is obvious.

    While I’m a Bush supporter, it is very hard to take to see Bush hobnob with these contemptible Saudi Wahhabi murdering scum. Guys like Salman should be hanging from a lamppost, not yukking it up with the US president while his Wahhabi government foments hate against us. And acts on it.

    If anything undoes my support for Bush, it is seeing him hold hands with the Saudi barbarians. We should be chasing these bastards through the streets of Riyadh in tanks, not kissing up to them. Saudi Arabia remains a sanctuary for the terrorists who want to kill us and the Saudis remains the patron of those very terrorists. Why doesn’t Bush demand these Saudi scum to hand over the terrorist financiers we have named who walk free in Saudi Arabia?

    I have to agree with #41. Being photographed yukking it up with the Saudis is shameful. Truth be known, they’re probably more dangerous to our national security than the Iranians.

    Bush is a boob. Him dancing around with a Saudi prince while gas prices hover at $3.00/gal. and higher, it’s an insult to the American people! I’m a conservative republican, and I can’t wait until this disaster is out of office. The problem is who’s gonna be there in his place?

We need a pro-Western moderate Arab country there in that mess. I’d smile too, in public, but would do some real tough negotiating out of the camera’s view.
