bush on women in kuwait...

http://time-blog.com/middle_east/2008/01/welcome_to_kuwait.html
--------
It was probably a slip of the tongue by President Bush, who continued his Middle East tour by arriving in Kuwait today. During a roundtable interview with Arab journalists before leaving Washington, he made a curious statement while he was lauding political reforms by pro-U.S. rulers in the conservative Gulf countries. "You know," he said, "women are now very active in the Kuwaiti parliament." Well, no woman has ever been elected to the Kuwaiti parliament.

------------

Back when Poppy Bush was in war there, they still couldn't vote, right? But, hey, they've been able to vote for 2 years it looks like. Progress.
