Swiss Cheese

NYT: Bush Arrives for Middle Eastern Tour
In an interview with CBS, (Bush) said: "What’s going to have to happen is that the Palestinians see a state that has got borders and doesn’t look like Swiss cheese, continuous territory that is — as well as, obviously going to have to see economic conditions start to improve and security conditions improve."

After leaving Israel on Friday, Mr. Bush will visit Saudi Arabia, where the price of oil is expected to be a major topic of a planned luncheon with King Abdullah at the king’s ranch. The trip will conclude at the economic forum in Egypt, where Mr. Bush will meet Mr. Abbas and other leaders in the region, including Iraqi officials and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan.
I can only read Bush's quote and laugh. I need to remind myself that he is President. The butchering of the English language into the quasi-folksy Texas bull speak is nonsense. Its a man playing poker and his main weapon is his bluff.

The price of gas isn't going anywhere except up.
