Bush
sends stern message to ABBA
George Bush conveyed the U.S. call for
a crackdown on terror operations in a stern message sent to ABBA,
the famous swedish singing group. A confused president urged a
confrontation with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other extremist groups
even at the risk of a civil war. Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog,
Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad released a strong counter
statement that read "Ya, Mr. Bush, we are not understanding
your message. Ya, un we are thinking that you are meaning to send
message to Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian prime minister, Ya?"
Bush refused to apologize for the mistake, claiming Disco music
contributed to his drug problem in the late seventies.
