Cheney Sounds Out Jordan, Egypt on U.S. Bombing of Iran

My cousin Larry Russell, a travel writer, spent three weeks (May 11 through May 31 of 2007) in Jordan as a guest of the Jordanian Tourist Board. He was invited to dinner at the home of Karim Kawar, Jordan's ex- ambassador to the United States (2002-06), in Amman. Dick Cheney and his daughter were Kawar's guests two nights before Larry arrived. Kawar confided to Larry that "Cheney's mission was to sound out the reaction to a forthcoming bombing of Iran's nuclear sites (no ground invasion planned) by the U.S. from Jordan's King Abdullah and President Mubarak of Egypt. They both rejected the idea."

When Larry pointed out that Jordan and Egypt receive regular economic and military equipment assistance from the United States so any resistance to this plan on their parts would probably be of a token nature at best, Kawar just smiled.

1. Do you think he's buying "The Evangelical President"?

Probably also - "How to Occupy the Middle East for Dummies".

Talk about a sourpuss. :rofl:

Just as long as we don't have to look at pics of Larry Craig on the down low.

5. Have those books been in the bathroom?

;-)

He is the grumpiest looking old fart I've ever seen.

I'm wondering why he would leave his bunker to go shopping for books. I would expect him to send someone to shop for him. Or to order books online. Seems odd to me to see him out among humans. :shrug:

10. Yea, the whole store would be filled with SS

Just doesn't seem real. Maybe the guy is an impersonator? :shrug:

6. Looks like he didn't appreciate the Borders Gift Card he received for his birthday.

Note to self: Next time just send sacrificial baby.

7. you mean to tell me...

that he actually had to wait in line to buy some books...?

What...no Darth Vader "Dark Side" choke with the fingers to get to the front of the line...?

11. Why do you think he looks so grumpy? If it were his habit

to buy his books himself he'd look more natural. Also we would have seen pictures like this one before. No, it was decided that he do this in order to look more human-like. And of course the press was there to record this world-moving event.
