United States Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has developed a reputation for carrying a heavy stick. But U.S. diplomats in New Delhi had no idea just how heavy until he arrived in the Subcontinent in early June to try to broker a truce between feuding India and Pakistan. The embassy had planned to house the former U.S. Navy Seal, who sports a 53-inch chest, into New Delhi's Sheraton Hotel. But a diplomat says they found out the lodging was woefully in short supply of a commodity dear to Armitage's heart: weights. Scrambling, the embassy's staff found an adequate weight room across town at the Hyatt Hotel. There the Vietnam vet pumped out bench presses reportedly well in excess of 400 pounds.
I want to hear him giving a speech to a bunch of diplomats...WWF style...
"Armitage "The Arm" with his 'guns' are coming for YOU!"(then he kisses each bicep)
