President Putin to Israeli Prime Minister:
"Say hello to your president. He really surprised us. We did not know he could deal with 10 women. He raped 10 women. I never expected it from him. He surprised all of us. We all envy him..."

President Bush's verdict on President Putin:
"I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul. We share a lot of values..."

"The more I get to know President Putin, the more I get to see his heart and soul..."
