Bush* Takes Wild West to the East

[kskiska]

BANGKOK, Oct. 19 -- President Bush won't land in Australia until Wednesday, but already he has riled politicians throughout the region by suggesting that he sees Prime Minister John Howard as his "sheriff" in the war on terrorism in Southeast Asia.

Bush's Texas talk previously got him a rebuke from first lady Laura Bush when he said he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive," a challenge the president has regretted. At another point, a close aide suggested that he stop referring to terrorists as "folks."

This time, Bush took the bait during a round-table discussion with Asian reporters before he left the White House for his six-country Pacific swing. He was asked if the United States views Australia "as its deputy sheriff in Southeast Asia."

"No," Bush replied. "We don't see it as a deputy sheriff, we see it as a sheriff. There's a difference."

Bush then mentioned Howard's visit to Texas in May. "I see, you're playing off the Crawford visit to the ranch, the sheriff thing," Bush said. "Anyway, no, equal partners and friends and allies. There's nothing deputy about this relationship."

As an American, I feel like I'm never going to be able to show my face anywhere in the world again.

8. Always nice to meet another Dean fan!

:toast:

If you're interested ... I got the Dean smiley sign at a site that lets you create your own smilies. I made one with a flag, too. (Lots of Deanies ask me about the smiley, so I figured I'd pass along the info to you.)





If you like one and want to use it, right click on it and view the "properties" to get the link to it.

Or you can make your own design by going to http://www.smiliegenerator.de :-)

9. most sympthize

if you hate him too.

[neverforget]

7. Has he thrown up on anybody yet? That seems about all that's left

to complete our embarrassment. :grr:

[acmavm]

10. It's just a matter of time. But I think by the time the dumb ass is

through we'll all be wishing that's all that he did. This guy has is persona non grata all across the globe. Maybe not with the governments who see the guy as a source of some quick bribe money, but the people everywhere sincerely hate this man. Truly, sincerely hate him. I mean, they call him the #1 terrorist on this planet. I think we'd all be better off if all he did was publically barf on himself. Instead, he keeps getting chased out of places or has to be taken around in a military helicopter because the locals can't be trusted. Geez, what a guy.

11. Persona non grata across the globe
