Amid Tensions, Saudi Envoy Meets Bush Father, Cheney

[Nambe]

WASHINGTON (Reuters)

Amid serious strains in U.S.-Saudi relations, the Saudi ambassador to Washington met former President George Bush on Wednesday and will meet Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday, U.S. officials said.

The meetings coincide with efforts by Saudi Arabia, long a close U.S. ally and major oil supplier, to halt a slide in relations amid American concerns about links between some Saudis and attacks on the United States.

Prince Bandar bin Sultan had lunch with Bush -- father and close confidant of the current president -- in Kennebunkport, Maine, where the family has long had a vacation home. ---

Cheney's spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise said Bandar would meet the vice president on Thursday in Wyoming. She gave no further details. ---

2. Huddle!

Junior's stuck in the Big Muddy, and the election is around the corner. Our bonds aren't selling, and gold, gas, and casualties are going up.

I bet they'd love to call a time out.

I bet they put Baker in any day now.

[Journeyman]

23. They tried to put Baker in a couple of weeks back. . .

insert him as another layer of management for Iraq, but not being completely stupid (like Bremer), Baker begged out.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. They probably got together

to figure out how to funnel more money to bin Laden and al Qaeda. It's getting tough keeping these guys fed and armed, you know with all the crack downs and the bad economy and all. But with gas jumping up to $3.00 a gallon, I'm sure all their money problems will be solved.

4. You want to tell me WTF Poppy Whistle Ass

Is doing messing in our foreign affairs, eh? Didn't the American people vote him out in 1992?

[htuttle]

6. Foreign Affairs?

8. My tin foil hat told me...

..how the meeting went.


Daddy Bush: "Now, Prince Sultan, I know my son said some, harsh things."

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "Harsh does not even begin to describe it! He has stepped over the line with his accusations!"

Daddy Bush: "Now, just calm down a minute Prince Sultan. Read my lips.."

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "That is so cliche."

Daddy Bush: "..my son didn't mean any, harm, he was just, confused."

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "When is he not confused?!"

Daddy Bush: *nervous laugh* "Well, ya got me there. I just don't want anything, bad, to come of all this, if you get my drift."

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "Is that a threat?!"

Daddy Bush: "Now, no, not a threat, I'm just saying..."

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "I do not take kindly to threats!" *pulls out cell phone* "Mushid. Stop all oil exportation to America." *click* "How do you like that for a threat, Mr. Bush?"

Daddy Bush: "How about I let you punch my son in the nose and we forget the whole thing?"

Prince Bandar bin Sultan: "Deal." *cell phone* "Mushid, forget my last call!"

Daddy Bush: *cell phone* "Barbara, honey, we're going to need some make up for Jr. No he's not gay, I'll explain when I get home."

<AND THE WORLD WENT ON>

29. We voted the raft of those NeoCons out

in 92. We rejected them again in 2000. However, they are just like cockroaches, they keep creeping to the light.

5. The Saudis Have the Photos of Old Man Bush Romping It Up

When old man Bush stayed in Saudi Arabia, he always stayed in the bin Laden family home.

Who doesn't think they had the video cameras running while the old man partook pleasures?

7. Meeting the real government ?

Dick and Daddy, the puppetmasters?

[madrchsod]

13. you `re right

[sattahipdeep]

22. Lets not forget Korndog

Seems he gets pushed back doesn't he?

But Krongard exhibited the requisite secretiveness when asked
to explain his interest in intelligence and how he came to land
a job in Tenet's inner circle. If you go back to the CIA's origins
during World War II in the Office of Strategic Services, he
explained, "the whole OSS was really nothing but Wall Street
bankers and lawyers."

Krongard described his role as that of a chief operating officer
and vowed to keep everyone focused. "If you ask me, 'What is your
one biggest priority?' it would be to do everything I can to
support our two basic missions here, operations and
intelligence," he said.

"If you don't worry about who gets the credit, you can
accomplish an awful lot."

10. where in the Constitution...

does it allow for international relations to be conducted on behalf of a (selected asshole) President by his (unelected asshole) father?...

oh, never mind...

12. the saudi`s are pissed

because of our new entrance rules-women have to sign whether or not they were prostiutes or "madams"..insulting because the men ussually fill out the papers. the largest hospitals and clinics are losing hundreds of millions of dollars because the saudi`s and others are going to germany..that doesn`t make mayo clinic very happy...also the saudi`s gave billions in a contract to russia to develope natural gas production..things aren`t going well ,so we have to kiss and make up....

[catzies]

14. PRINCE BANDAR IS ONE OF THE FUKCIN FAMILY!

To call him anything less would be wrong. Poppy is a surrogate Dad to him.

[Demobrat]

15. So while the so-called leader of the free world

sits in a Texas shithole in the summer, his father and vice president go around sweeping up after him. This is truly pathetic. How I hope this sorry episode of American history is over soon.

[onehandle]

16. I just wanna know...

Who wiped their mouth at the end of the meeting?

[Occulus]

17. ROFLMAO

up behind the elephants while they are walking in a parade. He's this administrations sh*t bum, no bouta doubtit.

[Jacobin]

25. Just a Meeting of the Board of Directors

Move on. Nothing to see here.

[PATRICK]

26. Where's Neil "Silverado" Bush?

Wasn't Mr. Disaster supposed to help the Saudis improve their image after 911 with his PR agency? Must have taken the money and converted it into white powder.

'Tis nolthing more than cutting up the pie. There ain't no tension. That's just a stupid media paranoia.

Let's just hope that poopy pukes on Prince Bandar bin Sultan dinner and the Prince hits poppy in the head with a big rock, 'eh? One
less bush to piss on!
