From the State Department:

"Ali Abdullah Saleh's request to travel to the U.S. for medical treatment has been approved. As we have indicated, the sole purpose of this travel is for medical treatment and we expect that he will stay for a limited time that corresponds to the duration of this treatment. Specific questions regarding his travel plans should be directed to the Yemeni government."

We have one nutso, friggin’, muzzie president! Totally disgusted.

[ColdOne]

Agreed. Notice when they released this news? Nobody is paying attn today for sure with football and all. I almost missed it.

He’ll probably pick up his waiver on his way out of the hospital.

Timing is everything.
Mr. Saleh may think that it is time to cut the best deal that he can, skim all the available cash, and get the hel out of Dodge City before the real shooting starts again.
In Gulf War I and II, it seemed all the wealthy Arabs were headed to London for medical treatment.
I wonder if another exodus is starting. TWB

[Zeppo]

Didn’t we see this show already with the Shah of Iran?

There’s nothing new on TV anymore, is there...

[Persevero]

What has deceived this man? I thought the health care system in the U.S. was a big disaster?

[jmacusa]

Be that as it may don’t all the America-haters high-tail it here when they need the best.

I nominate Dr. wRONg Paul to treat him.
