We shall remember you with fondness, o Bush. In the interview on Al-Arabiya TV, Bush was asked by the station's Washington, DC correspondent: "How do you want the Arab people to remember you?" At that point, something strange happened. `Abdur-Rahman Ar-Rashid, who was out of the view of the camera, could be heard shouting: Fondly, Mr. President. We shall remember you fondly, O Bush. He then started yelling: With blood, with spirit. We sacrifice ourselves for you O Bush.
PS The fawning profile by Robert Worth of the NYT claims that Al-Rashid has always been opposed to fanatical Jihadi groups. Well, what do you consider Wahhabi House of Saud? Secondly, if I have the time, I would unearth articles from Al-Mahallah magazine where Al-Rashid worked, and which used to carry articles of admiration for the Bin Ladenites fanatics fighting the communists in Afghanistan.
