Mr. Bush goes to Iraq

Smooth move. I was struck by the photo here that shows an American President standing beside a DEMOCRATICALLY elected leader of a FORMER dictatorship.

A dictatorship that was run by a man who once said:"We will chase [Americans] to every corner at all times. No high tower of steel will protect them against the fire of truth."Saddam Hussein, Baghdad Radio, February 8, 1991

"Good to see you," Iraq's new Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told Bush as they shook hands in one of Saddam Hussein's old palaces. "Thanks for having me," Bush replied.

Nice.
