Lost Appetites

ROADSIDE BLIGHT
On the road in Egypt on Tuesday evening, headed for the presidential estate of Hosni Mubarak, the 23-car American motorcade passed by a huge billboard that locals have dubbed the "peacemaker sign." It features large artistic renderings of Bill Clinton and fellow international leaders who attended the 1996 Summit of the Peacemakers at this Egyptian spot.

Seeing the visage of his predecessor must have really affected President Bush's appetite, because the president spent less than 90 minutes dining with Mubarak before heading back to his hotel.

Besides losing his appetite, Bush probably didn't want to lose what little he had eaten. And so on the return trip the motorcade made a rather awkward detour in order to avoid driving past the Clinton billboard a second time.

President Bush didn't visit Iraq post-Baghdad liberation because he didn't want the newly freed and grateful Iraqi people praising him. Thanks, yes. Idolatry, no.

Clinton on a giant billboard in the M.E. - between heaven and the "little people" - w/ angry Muslim jihadists and mothers of teenage daughters driving past daily - is a threat to our national security, imho.

Lol! Sharing helps....especially if those who pray - do.

Did you see the 'holey' statue of Saddam - a gift from the US military? Go for BJ's namesake..an RPG would do.

Sorry, Cal. Try this. Scroll down to May 19. It takes a while to load.

I forgot the "mature content" warning, too!
