Bush: Love Attack on Merkel!"
One German tabloid, Bild-Zeitung, which posted the link to the video and headlined it: "Bush: Love Attack on Merkel!"
(www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/news/aktuell/2006/07/18/merkel-bush-liebes-attacke/merkel-bush-liebes-attacke.html)
And Dialog International, a Web site that specializes in German-American politics and culture, said Bush's behavior raised questions about the American president and his profile abroad.
"When he is away from his script and his handlers, his true lack of intelligence and emotional maturity surfaces for all to see. The dangerous situation in Lebanon ... requires true leadership. Don't look for it from the world's uberpower."

I combined the 6 stills of Bush hugging Merkel from Bild.T-Online.de, along with a rough translation of their captions, and put it into one graphics file. It's 93k, but that's about the best i am going to get with decent clarity on a short-time optimisation.
Pick it up right here. Please right-click -> save the file, and don't link. The bandwidth will eat my allocation alive if a file this size becomes popular.
