Senor eats for the US - do Muslim clerics serve kosher ?

Dinner at Ayatollah Hussein al-Sadra's house, with Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Dan Senor and Paul "call me Jerry" Bremer... a little snack.

Page 174 tells of another mealtime with POTUS and spouse in the White House ..

" The President drew me over to a yellow couch at the end of the room and we talked intently about Iraq as Francie and Mrs Bush talked about books. At least I supposed that's what they were talking about because both are passionate readers, and , it turns out, both read in bed" ... the President sipped a non-alcoholic beer, the rest of us had white wine." Posted by Picasa
