It's been rumored well in advance: Dick Cheney is heading over to see Saudis. I am quite intrigued. No I am not surprised that Acting President Of U.S. is going to see some Middle East biggies. We got some serious trouble going on over there. I am a little bit surprised about personnel pick for the mission though. After all Dick isn't exactly known for his diplomatic prowess. Last time he traveled on foreign business I recall, he caused a minor version of diplomatic tsunami at the East European summit of sorts when he found a few choice words for Russians.
And don't forget he was a primary driver behind, and advocate for The War. What I intrigued about is, what kind of ideas Dick's bringing with him to Ryadh now, a short couple weeks after the Stay the Course doctrine has been resoundly rejected at the polls. Anyone have any ideas?
Any insiders trolling DailyKos, - would you please spill some beans here?
just in the spirit of holidays you know, or maybe out of a newfound bipartisanship instinct...whatever you more comfortable with.
Here, let me try myself:
- I bet Dick will suggest that Saudis build yet another big wall. Around Iraq. Why not? This seem to be all-around solution of choice currently favored by Republicans. And Israeli politicians shown it can work wonders in the Middle East. or maybe not... whatever... One thing seems sure though, it will work great for Halliburton’s bottom line.
