He just can't quit him, he jumps at another chance to look longingly into those sexy KGB eyes.
What will this mystery date entail? Will they play dress-up? Talk about cars? Show off their golfcart driving skills? Or perhaps they'll just have another rip roarin' hard drinkin' boys night out? Can this relationship be saved? :shrug:
President Bush announced yesterday that he will make an unexpected trip to Russia after a NATO summit next week to meet with President Vladimir Putin in hopes of repairing relations that have grown strained over missile defense, Kosovo independence and NATO expansion.
The decision surprised even some key U.S. officials and set both governments scrambling to accommodate the last-minute visit and put together an agreement to justify it. For Bush, the meeting represents a gamble that he can still resolve thorny disputes with Russia before Putin steps down as president May 7.
"I'm optimistic we can reach accord on very important matters," Bush told a group of foreign journalists at the White House. "I think a lot of people in Europe would have a deep sigh of relief if we're able to reach an accord on missile defense. And hopefully we can."
