Stehn is one of the funniest political columnists around. I see he is getting to you. Bush is on the phone, staying after the countries that tend to have problems dealing with terrorists. Bush and World Leaders Discuss Terrorism By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD - NEW YORK TIMES CRAWFORD, Tex., Aug. 16 - President Bush spoke with Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia today to discuss progress in the fight against terrorism and "ongoing cooperation" in the crackdown of the financing of terrorists, the White House said. It was one of several calls Mr. Bush placed to other world leaders to discuss terrorism. Mr. Bush, vacationing at his ranch here, spoke for about 20 minutes with the Saudi leader at a time when American-Saudi cooperation on combating terrorism has drawn scrutiny from Democrats. They have questioned whether the administration has been tough enough on Saudi Arabia. As an example, they cite a classified portion of a Congressional report last month that they say suggests Saudi Arabia has provided much financial assistance to terrorist groups. Mr. Bush and Crown Prince Abdullah "had a very positive discussion on recent cooperation in the war on terrorism," said Allen Abney, a spokesman for Mr. Bush. "The two leaders also talked about how strong relations are between the United States and Saudi Arabia." In June, Saudi Arabia announced the arrest of a senior figure in Al Qaeda suspected of playing a central role in a bombing in May in Riyadh that killed 34 people, including eight Americans. Today, Mr. Bush also spoke with the leaders of Thailand, Russia and Indonesia. Mr. Abney said that the president thanked the Indonesian president, Megawati Sukarnoputri, for her country's role in the capture of Riduan Isamuddin, an Indonesian Al Qaeda operative better known as Hambali, who is suspected of planning the bombing in Bali last year that killed more than 200 people. Mr. Isamuddin, who was captured in Thailand, is in American custody at an unspecified location. Mr. Bush told Mrs. Megawati that the arrest was an "important success" in the campaign to end terror, Mr. Abney said. In a call to Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, Mr. Bush talked about a sting operation disclosed last week that the authorities said foiled a plot to smuggle into the United States a Russian-made shoulder-fired missile capable of downing an airliner. A British national was arrested in Newark and accused of being the central figure in the plot. Two other men were also arrested. Mr. Bush also spoke with Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, about promoting world peace and the fight against AIDS. nytimes.com

but detest Arianna, I detested Arianna the first time I listened to her with that bi-sexual Husband of hers when he was running for Governor on the Republican ticket. Nothing to do with her politics. She doesn't pass the "smell test". What I really enjoy is knowing the the IRS in LA saw the numbers on her last couple of returns in the media and ordered a "full field audit." No way they are going to let that pass. I had one of those "root canals" in 84, and she deserves what she is going to go through. She will be left with her underwear.
