BAGHDAD, May 20 (UPI) -- Iraq President Jalal Talibani was en route to the United States Sunday for a checkup and weight-loss treatment, CNN reported.

There were no details about which hospital or clinic would treat the 73-year-old Talibani, CNN said.

2. Or dropped on Skid Row, as witnessed by Sixty Minutes last night.
And like I said earlier under a different topic, these Iraqis would use any excuse to get their two months vacation in the midst of a raging warzone.

3. Money is not an issue
The Iraqi nation is shouldering the costs of his medical treatment.

4. before they treat him i want to know
how he's going to pay for it. he shouldn't get FREE treatment when there are americans without health insurance. if he comes here it should be with cash in hand.

6. He will get free treatment, as befits one of the world's Great Ones.
Certainly a man of his status shouldn't have to go without like a common American peasant. He will, and should be, treated with all deference by The World's Only Superpower.

We're NUMBER ONE!

:patriot:

Bombs Away!
