Salam tout le monde! à l'heure ou Gaza souffre et creuve de faim, les DIRIGEANTS SAOUDIENS
on offert à CONDOLEZZA RICE des bijoux en rubit et diamant valant 316 000$!!!!
____________
The Saudis lavished the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, with hundreds of thousands of dollars-worth of jewels last year, while President George Bush received a $7 assortment of nuts and dried fruit from the Dalai Lama. The items are listed on an inventory of diplomatic tat, sorry gifts, that US politicians and officials were granted in 2007.
Other highlights include a bronze platypus paperweight given Bush by an Australian official, and a surfing exercise machine from the prime minister of Singapore. There was no mention of a cuddly toy, but the wife of the former Japanese prime minister gave Laura Bush two hand-embroidered pillows, with images of the first dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley.
The president was given gifts worth more than $100,000 (£67,000) from Arab leaders. But he was outdone by Rice, who racked up $316,000 of bling from just two trips to Arab states, including a ruby and diamond necklace, matching earrings, bracelet and ring from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
Under federal law US officials and politicians are not allowed to accept diplomatic gifts, so the items will be archived.
