"CAIRO — Despite the red carpets, big receptions, dancing, impressive gifts, US President George Bush's week-long Middle East tour proved a failure even before he wrapped it up.
"Seldom has an American President's visit left the region so underwhelmed, confirming Bush's huge unpopularity on the street and his sagging credibility among Arab leaders he counts as allies," Time commented on Thursday, January 17.
Bush wrapped up his tour after failing to win backing for the main goals of the trip, An Arab agreement to "reach out" to Israel and join anti-Iran alliance.
Although Saudi Arabia rolled the red carpet for Bush and King Abdullah honored him with an invitation to his horse farm, the Saudis publicly disagreed with Bush's views."
