JK speaks with Egyptian Prime Minister today

Looks like he's trying to mitigate some of the colossal damage caused by Bush's War.

1. I'm glad we have a real President

Even if he is the President in Exile.

2. So, what happened on this trip.

Kerry did the round up of Middle Eastern states and met with the leaders of Syria, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. He observed the elections in Palestine and found them to be in good order. He visited Iraq and went to Baghdad and Mosul. He was cheered by the troops, who asked him to remind the people back home that good things happen in Iraq as well as the bad. Apparently it was too dangerous to stay in Iraq, cuz he went back to Aman to sleep. (Scary.) Then he went to Germany and now France where he impressed the foreign heads of state with his ability to reason in complete sentences, something they haven't seen an American President do in awhile. (Doesn't he speak some German as well. Whatever.)

I think he comes home in a couple of days (or maybe goes right back to DC.) I think he sounds ready to ask some interesting questions of Condi. All in all, sounds like a meaningful trip.

5. good--I found it and kicked it

this is a good idea--work in tandem to keep things kicked. Otherwise it looks lame to kick your own. Let us know whenever you'd like a complimentary covert "kick"!
