    BEIRUT, March 28 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince 
Abdullah and Iraq's presidential envoy Izzat Ibrahim hugged and 
kissed at an Arab summit in Beirut on Thursday, the first such 
high-level public contact since the 1990 Gulf crisis. 
    Live television footage showed delegates at the summit 
applauding as the two men embraced. 
    The breakthrough came after Iraq and Kuwait reached a 
landmark agreement that could pave the way for a rapprochement 
for the first time since the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. 
    The agreement, according to a draft text obtained by 
Reuters, said Arab leaders "welcomed Iraq's confirmation to 
respect the independence, sovereignty and security of the state 
of Kuwait and guarantee its safety and unity to avoid anything 
that might cause a repetition of what happened in 1990." 
    Kuwait has long insisted that Iraq admit that its invasion 
was in violation of all international charters and norms. The 
U.S.-led Gulf War ended the Iraqi occupation in 1991.

"Hugged and kissed"( no wonder they make chicks where bags they have no desire to see women anyway since they all swing from the other tree).

This is monumental.

I really hope the people in Homeland Security understand what this means.
They are in collusion.

Agggggggggggg Don't tell me it was a big sloppy french kiss.

I guess it could have been worse, suppose it would have been Ara-O-Fatty. That would hve been the same as kissing someones a**, only not as smelly. Stupid sand fleas

Didn't see most of it personally(although Abdullah looked just like the retarded fundamentalist I thought he was he wasn't even speaking into the microphone and one of the princes had to pull down the microphone because the idiot didn't pull it down to speak into he was also ranting about Allah and Islam constantly).

[stand watie]

YEP!
