Bush in Bahrain

We saw his motorcade today. Of course we were stuck in traffic for miles (I should say kilometres) because they shut down the highway for him. All of us were herded toward the surface streets for a distance before we could get back on the highway. And zooming in the opposite direction on a traffic-free stretch were police cars with blue lights flashing, and several dark green Tahoes, and one black one with the US presidential seal on it, all windows tinted black. Think he was in that one? Does he travel with it? Jeff says it can fit in a 747. Anyway, wonder what he thought of this little island. I wonder if he mispronounces the capital, Manama, as rhyming with Panama, like I did when I first moved here. Probably.
