I never saw anyone shake a persons hand by bowing their head as they bent their knee. Look how far down his head is dipped. He's not even looking the king in the face. He's clearly kissing his hand or his ring.
He’s clearly bowing. That’s obvious.
He’s not “clearly” kissing a ring. That’s conjecture. The evidence doesn’t show, one way or the other, what his lips are doing.
No matter what, it’s a clear sign of obeisance.

"I, uh, am not BOWING to His Highness, King Abdullah the Glorious and Merciful Ruler of the Holy Sites of Islaam, here in this image. Uh, I had noticed that President Sarkozy had, uh, his fly open, and I, uh, wanted to help him adjust it before the um, group photo. This is, uh, quite the right wing distraction, filled with the typical paranoia and fear caused by people like Rush Limbaugh."
