Guest $iLk Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Wow TODAY, PRESIDENT Bush will roll out the red carpet for Chinese President Hu Jintao, a leader whose government brutally crushes freedom, democracy and the religious expression of the Chinese and Tibetan people. Hu will receive the best welcome U.S. taxpayer money can buy, including full military honors and a 21-gun salute. This is the same regime that provides military technologies to countries that threaten international security, including Iran and North Korea. The same regime that threatens Taiwan with a military attack, detains and tortures Chinese people for expressing their political and religious beliefs and arrests Tibetans for carrying a picture of the Dalai Lama. more...
Wolferz Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 And, Our CinC is going to talk with Mr Jintao about cutting back "their" oil consumption. You Clazy Mr Plesident! ROTFLMAO

You know there are other ways of stopping regimes than brute force- sometimes it is necessary, sometimes there are ways to avoid it. I think he hopes he can avoid forcing a settlement on issues by showing hospitality.
Guest Remo Williams Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Good for him like I really care who he invites anyway. LOL! Hey maybe he'll do a repeat of his dads projectile vomiting for the cameras.
Wolferz Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Can we get a BOO HU from the press corp? Who needs projectile vomiting when we have morons allowing dissidents in with the press corp. At the very least the Bush team has been very entertaining. Kind of like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

Seriously... are we supposed to offer up as sacrificial lambs the pillars of freedom, expression, and human rights just to "get along" or should we perhaps rethink our normalized relations with China? God forbid we have to manufacture our own American flags for Wal-Mart to sell instead of outsourcing them to Chinese sweatshops to save money.
Wolferz Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 It's like everything on the planet nowadays, $ilk. It's all about the Benjamins. Sad really.
Guest $iLk Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Ideals don't matter anymore... that's sooooooo 1776. Now it's all about whether the Elephant or the Donkey is going to trample your freedoms while you applaud "your" team.

You said it, not me I'd try to explain it in more detail but then you would get lost rather quickly Although, it would be nice if you wouldn't put words in peoples mouths when thats not what they typed More on this later, maybe...
