2. The more Cheney tightens his grasp, the more middle eastern countries will slip through his fingers.

6. Let's see, what unfinished business can there be? Oil contracts?
Selling off the rest of the country? Maybe info gathering on capital punishment by sword? How to keep the knuckledragging peasantry in their places using fear and intimidation?

22. He's going to discuss the next terror attack.
Why else would The Snarling Dick be going to the middle east?

This cabal knows that the only chance they have to retain power is for another terror attack to happen.

The Snarling Dick is just going to ensure that all of the loose ends are wrapped up.

16. Like sending Jeffrey Dahmer to a cooking class. Or...

Or...

Putting Larry Craig on bathroom detail.

26. I have to agree
This is a strange list of places to visit. This certainly can't be a diplomatic jaunt given his track record. Plus, they are giving adance notice of his journey, while everybody else flys by night.

19. I can only wonder what issues of mutual interest he'll discuss with
the West Bank. Get Hamas in line, or we will? Don't forget Mr. Abbas, Israel buys a lot of very high-tech weapons from us.
By the way, Hamas, if YOU need weapons, I hear the Saudis just bought about $20 billion worth.
Cheney's bottom line to the Mid East: Don't stop the music.

I thought for sure he'd also head to Dubai.
