Afghan makes present for Bush

A hand-knotted rug that took him a year's labor to make.
Filling the center of the rug is an incredible likeness of Bush, dressed in religious vestments, standing at a podium decorated with the official seal of the country and flanked by two waving American flags.

Directly above Bush is Jesus with a sacred heart and stigmata carefully knotted into the rug's pattern. The rug also shows cherubs and, apparently in an homage to both Bush and a fallen Northern Alliance leader, two lions.

...

One corner of the rug reads, "President George W. Bush," while the opposing corner has the words, "Number one champion."
