Allies as Terrorists. Health and the Jock Factor: Sarkozy, Obama, and Middle East Oligarchs

“Why are U.S.-allied refugees still branded as 'terrorists? Almost every day for three years, prison guards at one of Saddam Hussein's most notorious prisons tortured Sami Alkarim. Now, in a cruel twist of fate, the accomplished Iraqi artist is being treated like a terrorist by the U.S., the country where he sought refuge.
“U.S. officials have told him they can't give him permanent residency in Denver because of messenger work he did as a teenager for the same political party that counts the current prime minister of Iraq as a member……”

Trying to Keep with the Obamas:
“Nicolas Sarkozy doit rester hospitalisé jusqu'à lundi matin….
“Il faisait un jogging à proximité de la résidence officielle de la Lanterne à Versailles lorsqu'il a subi un "malaise vagal" selon le député-maire UMP de Levallois-Perret, Patrick Balkany. "Il a été immédiatement pris en charge par son médecin", ajoute la présidence dans un communiqué. Le premier ministre, François Fillon, qui se trouvait dans la Sarthe, est rentré à Paris en urgence……”

Based on this news of Sarkozy’s health issue, Arab leaders have decided to cancel all their workouts and exercises, pending a decision by the Arab League. You will not see Mubarak (pere ou fils) jogging along the Nile anymore, nor King whatshisface jogging along a private street.
They have called for a meeting in Cairo of Arab Health Ministers to discuss intensification of coordination among them in all matters related to health. They will agree on a unified schedule and regimen for all Arab dictators, absolute kings, tribal potentates, and others. Elected leaders, if there are any, need not apply.
I might barely accept a French leader as a jock, and only this once, but honestly, Arab potentates as jocks?
