Secrecy pervades Arab meeting
AP , CAIRO, EGYPT
Monday, May 10, 2004,Page 6

Under extraordinary secrecy -- even paper was banned for fear documents could be leaked -- Arab foreign ministers tried Saturday to find common ground on Israel, Iraq and US-proposed political reforms in an effort to resurrect a summit of their leaders.

But opening at least part of the discussions to the public, Jordan's foreign minister held a news conference to urge Arab nations to do more on advancing the peace process with Israel, telling them not to wait for Israeli concessions before drafting some of their own.

The summit of the 22-member Arab League, scheduled to be held in Tunisia in March, was postponed at the last minute because of disagreements among ministers on Israel and the political reforms.

1. I repeat the question:
What the fuck was the governator doing in Jordan?
You know the governator who took a meeting
with the Enron boys?
Advising this guy?
"Jordan's foreign minister held a news conference
to urge Arab nations to do more on advancing the
peace process with Israel, telling them not to wait for
Israeli concessions before drafting some of their own."

Was Arnold in Jordan? Is that where this meeting of Arab leaders took place?

4. Thanks. So you think this trip was about more than what the story
suggests, and that Arnold is some sort of stealth ambassador or messenger boy?

5. Well..
I can't imagine what California "state business" the governer
has with Jordan-
I can imagine some international business on the topic
of energy, but why would a state governer be handling it?
Are we grooming him for another repeat of Ronald Reagan?
Don't forget the recent suggested amendment to allow
a person who was not born in the US to run for US President.
Like I said, Arhnolds' ties with Kenny-Boy Lay and the Pig Farmers
from Texas, SCHTINKS.

6. Yeah, I agree. The only thing that stumps me is his Democratic

ties with the Kennedy's and Warren Buffet, etc. I'll say it schtinks! In political terms he's a bit of an enigma. But if things are understood in terms of class structure...he's one of "them" (who's ties are beyond political inclinations).
