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.

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