George Bush’s Benign Tumors … and Iraq’s Malignant Ones!!
In the United States, people expect to be told when their leaders are sick. In the Arab world, such is not usually the case. So perhaps this article in one of Baghdad’s daily newspapers is a bit of good news. It seems that Iraqis are fed up with the secrecy that marks governance throughout the Arab world.
“The White House said yesterday, September 16th, that U.S. President George Bush (62-years-old), underwent minor surgery over the weekend to remove a benign tumor from his forehead. Some opponents of the U.S. President say that the main reason for Bush’s tumors are numerous, including the events of September 11th, his failure to kill or arrest Osama bin Laden, the political chaos of occupied Iraq, and the confusion of U.S. policy makers in the Caucasus region!! … But at least Americans know about the diseases of their President. But we know nothing of those of their Iraqi Allies in the Green Zone, where many Iraqi officials suffer illnesses. Only Allah knows about these.
Although Iraqis are well-aware that the ‘cancerous tumors’ of Iraqi society are anything but benign. They exist in water that is unfit to drink; electricity that holds no charge; sewers that are overflowing.”

The White House said yesterday, September 16th, that U.S. President George Bush (62-years-old), underwent minor surgery over the weekend to remove a benign tumor from his forehead. The statement issued by the White House said, “This was a seborrheic keratosis, an extremely common, benign skin lesion that he has had in the past.”
The American Academy of Dermatology describes this type of lesion as “non-cancerous growths of the outer layer of skin,” which are typically brown in color and can range in size,” that is, it is much smaller than the surface of half a cent!
The cause of this “fatty growth” isn’t known! However, some opponents of the U.S. President say that the main reason for President Bush’s tumors are numerous, including the events of September 11th, his failure to kill or arrest Osama bin Laden, the political chaos of occupied Iraq, and the confusion of U.S. policy makers in the Caucasus region!! All of these factors and events are likely to have caused tumors in various parts of his body.
