I had no idea pretzel's could be so dangerous ;)

By Steve Holland

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush fainted and fell off a couch on Sunday evening after choking on a pretzel while watching a televised football game, but a subsequent medical examination showed he was fine, his doctor said.

The president's physician, Air Force Col. Richard Tubb, said Bush had complained in the last couple of days that he might be coming down with a cold. This condition combined with his having just eaten a pretzel that he did not swallow properly caused his heart rate to slow, and as a result he fainted.

Tubb said Bush, 55, who was at the White House, ended up with an abrasion on his left cheek and a small bruise on his lower lip after hitting his head on the carpeted floor when he fell off the couch.

The incident occurred at 5:35 p.m. EST as Bush watched the NFL playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins, which Baltimore won 20-3. His wife, Laura, was on the telephone in the next room.

When Bush woke up on the floor, he immediately alerted the nurse on duty downstairs at the White House, Air Force Maj. Cindy Wright.

So is George Bush's next war going to be on Pretzels and anyone who manufactures, sells or harbours them...?

I was thinking about the President today, and about death.

I was thinking about the day of judgement and how we have to face it all by ourselves.

In America, he is most probably the most closely watched and guarded man.

Then yesterday, he was all alone when death approached.

Does everyone actually believe that's what really happened? My first thought was that (a) he was probably drunk and stumbled or (b) that someone finally gave him a  good smack in the gob

I think the choking thing is a bit "too" naive.

(open to correction, since I only saw how he looked and didn't read anything about it...)

I think the graze on his cheek looked like the type you may get by falling face first on a carpet. But its hard to tell, thiers no doubt they would have done a bit of make up work on it, to make it look less bad. But the possibility someone would hit him is doubtful, simply because if you dont like bush, and dislike him enough to hit him, you would do more then that! Remeber he is a mass murderer responsible for the deaths of thousands of aghans and iraqi's.

a little correction..

he is a joint mass murderer of Iraqis with Saddam Hussein
and he is not the only killer of Afghans...a lot more Afghans have been killed by mujahideen commanders, taliban and northern alliance together.. than US bombs..

I am not implying that two wrongs make a right.. but

10-44. Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul.

Pretzels are disgusting! Bland, oily and tasteless!

Also did you know the pretzel is a christian buiscuit? It was made by a monk hundreds of years ago, and apparently the shape of the pretzel, with its three rings, represent the trinity!

So technically speaking, we muslims should not be eating pretzels because of what they symbolise!
