| #2 Is he sticking it in somebody's chest? Look more closely at the photo, Goober Goobelopolous. That finger is at eye level.

Actually, it's probably someone down the side of one of those long meeting room tables -- you can see the back of President Karzai's chair over his left shoulder. Apparently President Obama sent him a brief note of some sort intended to calm him. It probably said, "If you don't shut up now, I'll start pulling troops out on Monday." It's the Chicago Way. |
