Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will visit President Bush next month at his Texas ranch, a setting reserved for occasions where the president wants to emphasize close relations.
Hummm, either Hosni has done something we don’t know about or Bush is going to make him a offer he can’t refuse.
Bush and his wife, Laura, will welcome Mubarak to Crawford, Texas, on April 12. Their talks will cover "common efforts to combat terrorism in the region and the world, our shared goal to see the spread of freedom and prosperity throughout the Middle East region and our efforts to achieve a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians," a White House statement said Thursday.
"Hosni, my good friend, if you want those checks to keep coming, you really ought to consider taking over control of the Gaza Strip after Israel pulls out." |
