U.S. to Question China About Bush Comment

[DuctapeFatwa]

The State Department will ask the Chinese government about comments by a former senior Chinese official who accused President Bush of trying to "rule over the whole world."

Spokesman Adam Ereli said Monday the comments by Qian Qichen, a former vice premier and former foreign minister, were not consistent with the views outlined by Chinese officials during a visit to Beijing last week by Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Ereli told reporters, "We will be discussing the remarks further with the Chinese government for purposes of clarification."

5. Well, diplomatic protocol needs to be observed, but the truth is that

everyone in the whole dang world already knows that the PNAC controlled and staffed Bu$h administration has plainly stated in its manifesto that they want to rule the world.

So what's the big deal?

8. Bwahahaha!!! Don't ya love it? This was not the first of this type of

commentary made by a Chinese official. Guess this is the first that has caught the attention of Shrubco though. Perhaps because this was a former vice premier.

14. thanks, had to include this clip of it

...The Iraq war was an optional war, not a necessary one, and the pre-emptive principle should be removed from the dictionary of the US national security, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright also said.

The Iraq War has also destroyed the hard-won global anti-terror coalition.

Mounting hostile sentiments among the Muslim world towards the United States following the war have already helped the al-Qaida terrorist network recruit more followers and suicide martyrs. Instead of dropping, the number of terrorist activities throughout the world is now on the increase....


Seems pretty clear to me.

Did the morans ask for clarification when NK called * a piece of human garbage?

That was also crystal clear.

[JPace]

18. Let me translate....

China to Bush....open the fortune cookie and read
the following. We don't like you, you are arrogant
and stupid. You lack the wisdom of a frog and you bully
the world and step on our faces. We hope you lose the
American election and go away. We don't want to see
or hear from you ever again.

[daydreamer]

19. Better than the original

Straight forward and dead on the money.

[antonialee839]

20. Now this here is a perfect example of China

being unpatriotic and not supporting our troops.

[Dem2theMax]

22. A five year old could understand that.

But they want to 'question' it? hahaha. :evilgrin:
