Total deception of Islam illustrated by one photo

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, keeper of the holiest site of Islam - Mecca

You know the saying, "keep your friends close, keep your "enemies" closer". It's nice to see GW following some "good ol' boy" sense.

If thats true, Osama must be under Bushes desk ...
or was he a close friend afteral?

what is with them? Holding hands? eewhhhh

seriously, the House of Bush and House of Saud are very close and their relationship goes quite a way back. This is way more than a diplomatic relationship imo.

More on the source, location, timing of this snapshot would be interesting.

Nobody ever said that the war profiteering of the Bush administration and its cronies was really a form of Jihad, it's just some peoples who don't like being invaded that take it that way.

These guys are really cozy.

Matt I was just looking on tv and the news and comedians are having a feast with Bush and Abdullah.

I tell you a president has to do what a president has to do to get business going.

Or............they just have a thing for holding hands in a field of purple flowers.

Are they really holdong hands????

Or is that the work of photshop or something???

Wow, well, Bandar Bush is one of his nicknames. Also, who funded Bush everytime he went bankrupt? Bin Laden family. Also, the Saudi family has billions invested in his daddies company the Carlye Group. No wonder we didn't invade them, just because more then 70% of the hijackers were Saudi.

Walking hand-in-hand through a field of Texas bluebells...

totally not gay. Really.

Dubya was just warmin' him up for some tough negotiations on Saudi oil production.

Really.

Totally real. Video been on the news all day. It's...uh...bizarre.

Biggest freak out for me was the AP article saying "The White House wouldn't release any details of the meeting." I mean ANY. It's in Crawford too at the ranch. Could be side busniess, not having anything to do with government. Well you know. As far as that goes.

Hey!! Is Neverland Ranch in Crawford too????

Seriously, in some countries that's stuff is cool

Guys kiss guys on the cheek...and umm hold hands...totally natural

Isn't it a wonderful sight, you can just feel the love, now if only dubya could extend this kind interaction with the likes of Kim Jung and Ayatollahs of Iran

Just a middle-eastern sense of body-space. They don't have the angloid hang-ups about "my personal space." To them, getting "in your face" is considered a sign of trust and acceptance.

In a "special friends" sort of way, you understand.


not that there's anything wrong with that.

Not that I like it or anything but has it occurred to anyone that it might just be a cultural thing? Like a handshake to us?


But then again that is funny as hell..............

If he talks stern he is a warmonger, and if he tries to keep his cool and talk it out and play it right he is branded a fag. c'mon people....

In the godfather, Fredo betrayed his own brother. Just like the phrase someone used, keeping you enemies closer, there are blacksheep in every family, and every extention of family or close friends.

Should Bush have not met with him, that is where the logic pointing?

That's a beautiful photo. I never thought Bush would be capable of holding another man's hand. They're like brothers.

I hope there is not deceit on either side, that would kind of spoil it.

It's obviously a cultural thing, but it is also obvious that this is more than a diplomatic relationship, I highly recommend reading the book House of Bush, House of Saud. both men/families rely on each other for their own personal gains.

Homophobic comments aside, I am not sure that people are picking up on the underlying problem with this event, which has more to do with its secrecy and duplicity than with any Arabic male bonding custom.

Cultural or not, we're fighting Saudi insurgents in Iraq. Acts of diplomacy at W's level can leave the beholder wondering. One thing is totally clear though: Oil definitely is a powerful lubricant. Good fodder for the media nonetheless.
