#1 W. Bush is heralded in India like Nixon was in China, for the same reason. For decades, Washington blew off India as unimportant, and W. Bush was the only one who saw its power and importance, which was derided at the time by both political parties.

W. Bush's timing in opening India was also top drawer, as they had a great combination of an effective, pro-business president, and a brilliant foreign minister.

#2 no one in the Obama administration will say anything negative about the Bush trip to India because civility in political discourse is valued in the US.

Wow. This guy has not been paying very much attention to the Obama administration.

Instructions have gone out from the state department to the US embassy in New Delhi to extend all the courtesies that are due to a former American head of state and the ambassador in New Delhi, Timothy Roemer, will be correct, but not effusive in dealing with Bush.

But in private conversations, officials of the Obama administration, especially Democratic political appointees, make no secret of their sense of hurt over New Delhis decision.

This sense of hurt is shared by liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill, where enthusiasm about the Prime Ministers visit was palpable until it became widely known here that the man whom many of them consider to be a war criminal is being needlessly feted in New Delhi at this time.

These little twits need to go back to Beverly Hills High until they grow up.

#3 More such slights will be coming from allies that Bush treated as equals and Obama treats as children.

#4 Singh's is the first state visit to be organised by the Obama administration. And what do you do? Invite the man who triggered the end of my country's superpower status and brought shame to America worldwide.

W. T. F ?!??!!!

Do these Obama morons actually believe that?

If Bush "triggered the end of my country's superpower status", its only in his role of getting Obama re-elected with the "I hate Bush" vote. Obama is the one detroying our superpower status, daily by surrendering damn near any time he is confronted, selling out the free peoples in Ira, dithering over Afghanistan while our soldiers die there undersupported, gettign completely ripped by Russia in giving up BMD for *nothing* in return, etc.

Obama has made the US a joke, and these turds want to blame it on Bush?

By God, I almost wish the Almighty Himself would wipe DC and these vermin from the face of the planet.

#5 What's the big deal? They're just gonna chat about the times they hung out with the Dalai Lama, the occasional times they could tell China to go piss up a rope, that kind of thing. Obama couldn't add anything to that conversation, anyway.

#9 "Shall we shoot them?"

#11 FTA: "In March, Bush made a feeble attempt to enter the lucrative lecture circuit by making a test trip to Calgary, Canada, where 1,500 people paid $400 per person to hear the former President. But protesters outnumbered listeners, media were kept out of the hall and the trip was deemed a disaster."

Funny, this is the first I've heard that his talk was a "disaster". I guess there are new criteria for the term.

#13 1,500 at $400 a pop... $600,000. For what, an hour of work? Not too shabby.

If that's considered a disaster, then I can only hope to be as big a failure as Bush someday.

#15 And then comes WMF > RUSSIAN MEDIAS: THE WORLD WILL BECOME CHINESE AS FUTURE SUPERPOWER CHINA MODERNIZES BUT FAILS TO BECOME WHOLLY WESTERNIZED/FUTURE SUPERPOWER CHINA WILL ASSIMILATE THE WORLD, NOT VICE VERSA.

China may revert back to CONFUCIANISM and forms of CHIN BUDDHISM albeit partially modified.

versus

CHIN MIL FORUM POSTER > YEAR 2020-2050 > ENTIRE STRUCTURE OF EAST ASIA as known since the end of WW2 + post-Cold War WILL CHANGE.
