Schwarzenegger to visit Israel
as long as it keeps him out of California

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/28/schwarzenegger.israel.ap/index.html

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the son of a Nazi, visits Israel this weekend on his first foreign trip since taking office, and will attend the groundbreaking for a museum dedicated to tolerance.

"He feels it's critically important to keep his commitment to go to Israel and continue a dialogue about tolerance," said Terri Carbaugh, a spokeswoman.

Schwarzenegger agreed more than a year ago to attend the groundbreaking for the $200 million museum, a project of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, it will be called the Center for Human Dignity-Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem.

2. What the "Terminator" is not going to Iraq to save the USA!!!
He's going to the wrong country that starts with an 'I'. I'm sure if he went guns ablazing into Iraq, he'd win the day for his buddy Bush. :eyes:

7. The Constitution would have to be changed for that
as only native-born Americans are eligible.

9. Agreed. He's wasted no time to start paving the way for a Pres run.
These moves are very transparent. I bet he's even starting to raise/sequester money for this somehow.

8. Idle musings at the end of the day
A widely recognised American public figure (governor of California,
famous actor, son of a Nazi, friend of George W Bush) is going to
Israel (home of the suicide bomber, recently stirred up by Sharon &
Bush) in a high-profile visit during a critical period of adverse
public reaction to Bush.

If - and I am in NO WAY advocating this - if something was to happen
to little ol' Arnie, not only would any other news (911 commission,
retreat from Falluja) slip off the front pages, it would draw even
more support for the PNAC approach to the Middle East ... not to
mention a clamp-down on Fatherland security ...

Hmmm ... time to go home ...

10. Wonder if he'll have the armored Hummer
unlike the "rushed-to-war" soldiers don't have because we "liberals were delaying", which should have given Bush the time to properly equip the ones that went.

12. And I suppose we in California have to pay for this???
HE has a guilty conscience and we have to pay the tab and endure budget cuts? Hope they are not plotting the October surprise.
