Ahmadinejad can make announced visits to Iraq while Bush has to sneak in like a thief in the night

[NNN0LHI]

Bush as the leader of the most powerful nation on the earth has to sneak around and hide the fact that he is visiting the country he "liberated." We don't even hear about it until he is back home.

Get out the irony meter.

1. my thinking is bush is pretty much been reduced to sneaking around anywhere he goes

I seriously doubt that any country actually wants him to pay a visit.

6. If He Brings A Boatload Of Cash...

...he'll find lots of friends in Africa. Now there's the irony...his assholiness' "best friends" are among the darkest skinned.

Too bad that dollar won't bring as much as they think.

2. Excellent point. n/t

3. As a visitor, maybe Ahmadinejad counts as okay by religion.

On the other hand, if Ahmadinejad tried to buy a home in Iraq, then he might have some security concerns if the local neighborhood roadside-bomb-builders decide that Ahmadinejad is not a member of the right sect.

5. Think Shock and Awe may be a slight factor?

4. And they greeted him with flowers!

Iran leader's Iraq visit eclipses US, Arab ties

BAGHDAD, March 2 (Reuters) - Pomp and ceremony greeted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his arrival in Iraq on Sunday, the fanfare a stark contrast to the rushed and secretive visits of his bitter rival U.S. President George W. Bush.

Ahmadinejad held hands with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani as they walked down a red carpet to the tune of their countries' national anthems, his visit the first by an Iranian president since the two neighbours fought a ruinous war in the 1980s.

His warm reception, in which he was hugged and kissed by Iraqi officials and presented with flowers by children, was Iraq's first full state welcome for any leader since the U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein in 2003.

His visit not only marks the cementing in ties between the neighbours, both run by Shi'ite majorities, but is seen as a show of support for the Iraqi government and an act of defiance against Iran's longtime enemy, the United States, which has over 150,000 troops Iraq.

A line of senior Iraqi political leaders welcomed Ahmadinejad when he arrived at Talabani's palatial home.

Worst President Ever.

That's his legacy.
