Bush 'excited' over India-US ties


US President George W Bush has said that was "extremely excited" about the state of Indo-US relations and pledged to take them to a "much higher level".
In a meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh in Washington, President Bush said that the US wanted to work closely with India.

Mr Bush told Mr Singh that he expected to visit India sometime in 2005.

Mr Singh is in the US on a three-day visit aiming at strengthening ties between the two countries.

1. Yeah...
...he probably asked the Indian Foreign Minister what tribe he belonged to and what living in a teepee is like.

9. "the prospect of outsourcing 100% of our jobs"
Exactly. Bush is a traitor to this country.


-------------
"Prosperity is just around the corner." — Herbert Hoover
"The economy has turned a corner." — GW Bush

Herbert Hoover = GW Bush

Neither man cared about the Depression their economic policies created.

5. Of course he is
Carlyle invested in India way before anybody had a clue they were going to take over so much US work. One of the first things Bush did after 9/11 was to lift all remaining sanctions on India. He's cleaning up over there. Of course he's "extremely excited".

17. Notice the wording, "extremely excited"
Everything Bush says is strange, inappropriate, overdone.

Who says stuff like this, excited? Unless they're going to the Hooters Bar. Otherwise - put a cork in it.

11. as a techie
Edited on Fri Apr-15-05 09:12 AM by insane_cratic_gal
I have to say after all the jobs lost to India tech support (hope you guys are enjoying the experience. Bob who is trained to speak with an english accent.. kinda sorta) we can't "take them to a much higher level." At the rate things are going, they'll be taking jobs from immagrants here with work visas next.

What about people already in the US with visas bidding on jobs for low salaries that land our present techie on the unemployment line. Because they can stand to live 20 to 1 apt and send all of that money home so it never touches our economy.
But fuck the family who lives here, who no longer can put food on the table because a visa is willing to work for 10 bucks and hour, (in cali that has to be poverty level. I know it is in DC)

13. huh?
Bush is "extremely excited" about the state of Indo-US relations? This, from a guy who only gets "extremely excited" about starting wars and going on vacation?

I sense there's a buck to be made for the Bush family - this guy usually gives a crap about our relations with other countries.

16. Such ham-handed "diplomacy": imperialist "divide and rule."
This is a hilariously transparent attempt to split India from its natural allies China and Russia. Its clear that this Eurasian partnership is the key link in development in those countries. The US is not interested in their development. India has already stated in no uncertain terms that it does not support the US terror war against Iraq and does not wish to partner with plots to divide the developing world.
