Before I post this, I’ll issue a few disclaimers:
- George W. Bush is not responsible for what his family says.
- Saudi Arabian newspapers are not exactly known for their commitment to veracity.
Still, doesn’t the following just seem, well, creepy?
Win American hearts through sustained lobbying: Neil Bush
>JEDDAH, 22 January—Neil Bush, brother of US President George Bush, said here yesterday that the distorted image of the Arab world could be removed through the sustained lobbying of US politicians.
>”The US media campaign against the interests of Arabs and Muslims and the American public opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be influenced through a sustained lobbying and PR effort,” Bush, chairman and chief executive officer of Ignite! Inc., said in his keynote address on the concluding day of the three-day Jeddah Economic Forum at Hilton Hotel here.
>The support for Israel had been strong for many years because of the strong public opinion in its favor and continuous lobbying by Israeli supporters among politicians. After all, politicians shape policies based on public opinion, he said.
