Bush and Fox "amigos" again at Americas summit

MONTERREY, Mexico, Jan 12 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush and his estranged "amigo," Mexico's Vicente Fox, put aside their dispute over Iraq on Monday, praising each other for their work on U.S. immigration reform and the war on terror.

The two presidents met at an Americas-wide summit in Mexico, their up-and-down friendship boosted by Bush's new plan to overhaul immigration laws and Mexico's recent tightening of airport security for U.S.-bound flights.

Other Latin American nations are increasingly critical of U.S. policies so Bush was eager to play up his improving relationship with Mexico.

"We are working together to overcome many mutual challenges and that work is yielding results," Bush told a joint news conference.

He said Fox remained a "good friend" despite his opposition last year to the war in Iraq. The Mexican leader, a former Coca-Cola executive, congratulated Bush on the recent capture of deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Bush and Fox took office at about the same time three years ago and quickly developed a close friendship, sharing a taste for cowboy boots and life on the ranch.

"Amigos". Way to cheapen the new story, Reuters.

Why does anybody want to be president for? Why not just have a single Dictator run our country under his iron fist. No more elections, boring debates, etc...

France is full of whining babies. I don't care what they think of us, they hate everyone. I spent 2 months in Paris long before 911, and they were still a bunch of smug gits.

The city of Love? Vancouver is more clean than Paris. That place needs some serious street sweeping action.

Considering the fact that "french" refers to the method by which the fries are prepared, I think you're still safe. See, that's why "french fries" is not capitlized.

A deli near my home town in Pennsylvania started calling them "Franc Fries". See the name of the deli is "Frank's". With Frank's clever little play on words, intelligent people would realize that in essence he was still calling them french fries, and less intelligent, war mongering types would congratulate him on his patriotism.
