I was gonna make the photo of the President and the Falcon the Photo of the Day but our troops won out.

However Drudge did post it on his site today.

Surely there must be a palace around somewhere. Very odd place for a Prince to have a retreat...lol..and I note that the President drove out there but he was flown out via helicopter.

The photo of the day with the troops is an excellent choice

I seem to remember when Dick Cheney visited the middle east either last year or the year before he visited some retreat in the desert cannot remember which country but the concept seemed familiar maybe it is a middle eastern tradition. I must admit my middle east history on customs is a bit sketchy.
