Well known Hollywoood action figure and current California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has flown to Iraq to shake hands and share cigars with US troops.

Mr Schwarzenegger posed for photographs with the troops when he landed in Baghdad.

On entering a crowded dining hall at Camp Victory on Baghdad's outskirts, Schwarzenegger received a mighty ovation from the soldiers gathered.

He thanked them for their sacrifice to the US and congratulated them on the job they were doing.

Posing for photographs, the former Mr Universe promised the soldiers he would do a workout with them during his tour.

Schwarzenegger later had dinner with a group of generals, including General Raymond Odierno, the top US commander in Iraq.

After Iraq, Mr Schwarzenegger will travel to Austria to visit his hometown and the graves of his parents before travelling to Italy to address a policy forum.

Something else he could have done...

..., how many boxes of oranges could he have sent for the same money. And enclosed a card 'From the People of California'?

Or he could have used his own Money and taken the Glory!

I HATE THIS GUY

GAS as he is known in Calif has destroyed the state in so many ways. Adding to it is his utter comtempt for everyone in the state - he says 'conserve gas' yet drives his hummer around. 'Conserve energy' as he flys in daily on his private jet. Says the Calif govt employees make too much, doing jobs he wouldn’t do for 10 times what they get paid. He is a pathetic POS.
