Washington Examiner:

Former U.S. President George W. Bush will keynote a summit next month on fighting global extremism, organizers announced Monday.

The nonprofit Concordia Summit Group said Bush will be joined by other former world leaders, security experts and heads of global corporations at the Sept. 20 meeting which aims "to strengthen the relationship between the public and private sectors to more effectively combat extremism on a global scale."

Bush, who was president on 9/11, declined an invitation from President Barack Obama to attend a somber remembrance on May 5 at the World Trade Center site to mark the killing by U.S. forces of Osama bin Laden.

The former president will be near the site when he attends the Sept. 20 summit at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park Hotel, which overlooks the Statue of Liberty.

The summit is taking place on the eve of the annual ministerial meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, which Obama is scheduled to address on Sept. 21.snip

Valin. Really chuckled when I saw this for the same reason ;)

 

In all fairness (and I am nothing if not in favor of fairness) it should be noted that it doesn't take much to drive them up the wall.

They are the perpetually offended.
