The big guest and great friend of the United States was seen off by the Secretary of State and Helen Rothschild.
Shushert was completely drunk. He tried to crawl on all fours up the ladder into the plane. But he couldn't and rolled down.
The Secretary of State put his hand over his eyes. Helen Rothschild imperturbably stood with a bouquet of roses in her hands.
Shushert again unsuccessfully tried to crawl up the gangplank into the plane. In the end captain and pilot dragged him by his legs on board.
The plane taxied to the runway, took off and headed for Baghdad.
