Of course, the Somali President is in no trouble, since despite the arrest warrant issued on him by the World Court, he was given a cheery welcome in Cairo recently!
Is it not Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir who has an arrest warrant against him from the ICC?
This cartoon is referring to Somali President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who bin Laden accuses of being a shill for the US.
Sorry, cdward, my bad, I get confused sometimes with which African countries that are having a major internal war that we are speaking about Sudan/Somalia, please forgive
By the way, the fellow now has received a warm welcome from Libya, which I thought was on our good side (with Egypt) the last I saw!
cdward, Patirnce. This clown, StewieZ, has been around before. Just watch the fun. Abrasiveness is his defence. Wait a while and you’ll see all sorts of claims being made. Think I’m being funny. Scan thru the posting at your lesiure and you’ll already note one or two.
you betcha, empty suit, I think W was in over his head. He never seemed to grasp all that being the President of the United States entails. Oh, he was all for making the office more powerful, less open, more protected and more secretive, but there were an entire range of possibilities he never considered. Like doing something about gas prices when they neared $5 bucks a gallon (got up to $4.89 where I live). He was asked about tht in an interview during his last year in office and you could actually see that he was stumped why he would even be asked the question.
He appeared to be more comfortable as a ruler or dictator than President.
and lose the teleprompter talking point, that dog don’t hunt
BCS, et al,… The reality is that GWB was over-dependent on advisers who had mixed motives, (the power-grab was really a red-herring, put out by the Democrats much like today’s Republican talking points) while T.G.I. seems to be relying on cabinet members and congressional leaders who have mixed motives. Both situations have the same effect however.
But can we get back to the fact that the Sudanese president continues to thumb his nose at the world while the people of Darfur suffer, AND the Somali government is pretty much non-existent (their latest PM resigned) allowing pirates to operate in international waters and hold ships and marine transport hostage?

Nope, I don’t let Bush off the hook that easily. Bush systematically fired or reduced his contact with every advisor that didn’t agree with his “go with his gut” style of governance. He would have been more at home in another country ruled by dictatorship. Too bad for the USA he presided over us.

StewieZ, are you this gratuitously offensive in real life? Chill.

LLeRay, you’re showing here the kind of subtility I’d expect from a righty… …but smarter.

If Obama is a daily embarrassment what is the word that describes what GWB was?
