Source: AFP

SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt (AFP) — US President George W. Bush was set to make a three-hour visit to Egypt on Wednesday for talks with President Hosni Mubarak on the last stop of his eight-day visit to the Middle East ...

The lightning visit comes at the end of a tour which has seen the US president try to drum up Arab support for the revived peace process as well as Washington's face-off with Iran.

Relations with Egypt have taken a downturn ...

2. Damn. Does he have to come home?
Well, they probably don't want him around there either. Guess he's our trash to pick up.

6. Wow, a whole three hours.....
must be the Egyptians wouldn't turn off all the lights so Little Boots could see the sunrise over the Sphinx? :shrug:

What an abject failure his middle-east tour has been. Of course, that dovetails with everything else his administration has done over the past 7 years. With the exception of making the rich richer, is there one thing he's done that's had a positive impact on anyone?

"Relations with Egypt have taken a downturn". No shit, Sherlock! Relations with everything in our solar system have taken a downturn since Little Boots was appointed pResident. Did the fucking moron actually think his mere presence in the middle-east would bring peace to the region? Probably so, his ego knows no bounds. He was, after all, chosen for the job by none other than god himself. :rofl: If a supposedly omnipotent, omniscient being chose that idiotic human stain as the leader of the free world, what does that say about that being's worth as a supreme deity?

Three whole hours. :wow: Centuries of hate and mistrust will totally dissolve now, you watch. ;)

11. well, at least everybody there will be able to agree on one thing ...
He's a complete pain to have around, and it'll be nice when he leaves.

You see? He's such a uniter. People from all different religions, ethnic backgrounds, and occupations can come together around that kind of universal, gut-level emotion.

10. Probably Spent 2 Hours Napping
Then looked around to say 'Those are indeed Great Pyramids' (ala Nixon on the Wall) and gone back inside for a refreshing snooze.
