“Reinfeldt was slammed by opposition politicians at home for not using the meeting to criticize US policy on questions such as Iraq.”
Look, all Fredrik wanted to do was to hand over a brush cutter.
When my former boss, who happened to be from Serbia, moved on to another job last year, we gave him a bottle of his favourite single malt whiskey WITHOUT starting any discusions regarding the Kosovo issue.
It’s called manners.
Manners / Uff da.
Probably was a husqavarna
I had a Serbian buddy in college and all he and his fellow Serbs drank was this horrid concoction called Slivovitz (sp?) - I think it was a type of plum brandy. That stuff would take the chrome off a trailer hitch.
We own a Swedish saw. What’s a Swedish brush cutter ?
Yes, that showed good manners. Just like President Bush when he commends PM Reinfeldt on his “strong leadership”.
Few serious commentators would call Reinfeldt’s first 10 months in office a show of leadership, let alone strong.
But, that’s what we’ve got. Better than the old socialist who is now going to make his fortune as a lobbyist, but just not good enough.
