This has got to be the greatest insult to an American President in recent memory...!
Bush is being treated as a persona non grata in the middle east...and is being avoided and snubbed by those who now insist that the Neocon-Zionist agenda also consider other parties in interest...
Truly amazing... Don't the US and Israel "control" the middle east...?
If there was ever any doubt that the wheels are coming off in Iraq; and in the middle east in general...it is this "insult" to Bush by his hosts in Jordan... Bush is being treated like your crazy aunt who has to be kept in the kitchen while everyone else is in the dining room!
Maliki is no longer the obedient puppet of the US occupation...but does he have the power to stand alone without the Sadrites in Iraq...probably not. Today Maliki and the King decided that they would meet to discuss things...without the President... Bush was simply ignored!
Lately the middle east debacle sort of reminds me of the US economy.... It's a myth. A show. A House of Cards just waiting to be pushed over...by the slightest unfortunate breeze...or ill wind...
Perhaps a new American President will be able to restore American respect in the world...
But it's going to be a long long wait till January 2009...!
