Dear President Talabani

Thanks for shuttering countless airport-based businesses and 90 miles of I-70 just so you could drop in with your huge entourage.

Why are you schmoozing in Aspen? Don’t you have other more pressing crises to attend?

The President is performing a crucial function in the reincarnation of Iraq, and, therefore, in the War on Terra. He is forging crucial links with the American business and financial community to fester the growth…foster the growth of the Iraqi economy, which of late has been limited to the export of casualties.

47 more bodies found in Baghdad.

Mr President, I must commend you on your choice of scotch and in my opinion, the Aspen Ritz was simply ungenerous in giving you only three floors of their hotel. So what do you have planned for Iraq?

gasps A tony alpine tourist region in the north? Brilliant!

Well here in Baghdad, when Bush visits they shut down the entire cell phone network for the capital, so tit for tat in my book.

Heh, try being in Ireland when Bush (or in the past Clinton) arrives…
