P!$$ on that. That's worked really well for the last decade, hasn't it? Now they can start "perceiving" things from our point of view or be damned.
Rudy had no right not to accept the gift and to insult the man that way. Foreign policy is part of the " big stick " and if not used fairly the rest will go by the boards.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!!! :P
The Prince insulted US, and Rudy said "No, thanks". It was totally fair. And Rudy had every right to do it, and I support him 200% in this.
And excuse me, this was not "foreign policy" just because an a$$hole foreign "prince" came to MY CITY to make a LOCAL donation followed by an INTERNATIONAL press release designed to placate his homeys.
LOCAL matter. NYC. Rudy's call. Get it? I suppose you think Rudy had no right to throw Arafat out of that reception some years back either, but he DID. Deal with it.
Second verse, same as the first:
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!!! :P
