The 7-minutes Meeting between Bush and Sanyurah. Sanyurah's meeting with Bush. Lebanonese media (and Saudi Arab media) have been talking about a 2-hour meeting between Bush and Sanyurah, but that includes lunch. And Laura Bush met with Mrs. Sanyurah when her husband was with Bush in the Oval Office, and that meeting between the "ladies" lasted for 45 minutes. So the actual meeting between the Sanyurah and Bush lasted for less than 45 minutes (and that Oval Office meeting was all about "kidding and joking" as one member of the delegation admitted later). And there was a 7 minute private tete-a-tete between Bush and Sanyurah, so the real meeting was for a full and long 7 minutes.
