Were you, like me, treated to an Abu Dhabi photo-op? Abu Dhabi royals introducing George W Bush to the arts and sciences of falconry?
Where are the sharp-eyed falcons of the American media? Why was the irony of the moment not an issue.
Ronald Reagan, rather than admit an error, proceeded with a visit to a war cemetary in Bitburg, Germany that contained among others, the remains of some SS officers. However, our media caught on to the issue and made it a lead story for days. The very word Bitburg is GOP code for a media relations boo-boo.
And so why is falconry in Abu Dhabi a new Bitburg?
