US President George W. Bush (L) holds up a sword as he poses for a picture with his host King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa of Bahrain during an arrival ceremony at Sakhir Palace in the captial Manama, 12 January 2008. Bush arrived from Kuwait today in the tiny Gulf kingdom which serves as home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet. Bahrain is his second stop in a tour of US-allied Gulf Arab monarchies aimed at drumming up support against what he calls an Iranian "threat".
