“Mr. Maliki speaks fluent english...”

If so, then his little speech to the joint session in DC in Arabic with a 3-day unshaven face was more of a message to the Arab world than I thought at the time, since some newsfolk claimed he didn’t/couldn’t speak english. I was disgusted with that spectacle then, and now to learn he speaks english makes it even more disgusting.

A lot of leaders prefer to make official statements in their own native language so there can be no question of what they meant to say.
