In what case is he ever right?
Edited, Nov 16th 2009 1:46pm by CBD
We ought to bomb the **** out of any country that doesn't accept either vomit or a handshake as an acceptable means of welcome by an American dignitary. It's worked for us so far, since we're already the #1 most awesomest country in the world.
We've already made enough accommodations for those lesser people born overseas by just allowing them to share the same planet as us. Hell, we even modified our own Constitution just so they wouldn't have to live in constant fear of our kickassery.
I'd like to get my motor oil and gunpowder covered hands around the neck of whatever liberal decided we had to pussify our Constitution just to make non-Americans feel better about themselves.
BRB, voting Republican.

As a conservative there are some cases in which I agree with him. Though that isn't of any relevance to this thread. The subject was Obama's bowing in Japan, something that in this case, publiusvarus is incorrect on.
Amusingly enough, I saw some conservative blogger (whose name I can't be bothered to find) ******** that Obama bowed the wrong way. Something about how you're not supposed to still be shaking hands when you bow or whatever. I thought it was an fun pivot from "He shouldn't be bowing!!" to "He should have bowed THIS WAY!!"

Well if you are going to complain, you ought to at least complain over the right things. Though nowadays with non-Japanese there is a awkward combination of bow bowing and handshake, in proper bowing I believe the man is supposed to have his hands at his sides.
varrus, once again, you ignoring the actual situation and response in Afghanistan does not mean it's not taking place.

Xarus,
What is the actual situation? Obama has rejected all four plans offered up by the generals over there. He hasn't proposed any plans of his own.

And the US, except for rabid liberals, are awaiting Obama's decision for Afghanistan. What's his excuse now that the elections are over?

You first.
With your typical uneducated and ignorant American ethno-centrism, Virus, you mistakenly (though not surprisingly) assume that because in Western society a bow is a gesture of subservience that it must be so in ever society, which it isn't. What you're ******** about is a gesture which, in Japanese society, is nothing more than a polite and respectful greeting.
You ARE okay with our president being polite and respectful to other world leaders, correct? Or will you not be satisfied until he struts in and greets them by flipping them the bird?

I would imagine he's referring to an article similar to that.
Long story short, Obama wants more strategy instead of just a blank-check for amounts of soldiers. He asked for more information before sending more soldiers over; specifically, information on how viable the Karzai government we're holding up in Afghanistan is. The options are currently being amended.
Face it, Bush was just an uncultured clod.
Is that Bush? Looks like Nixon to me....
Or am I missing the joke?

It's Nixon.
The joke is that Bush didn't know anything about other cultures unless they involved oil, and thus wouldn't think to bow politely to the Japanese emperor.
At least Nixon knew that much.
Edit: Case in point.
No, Mr. President, it is not polite to give a back massage to the head of another sovereign nation.

Wish I could remember the source but I read a quip the other day remarking that the Pubbies were all about defending Bush's half-assed cowboy strategies with "He's the Commander in Chief!". Bush was, after all The Decider. Now that Obama is in office, the Pubbie line is that the Commander in Chief is, apparently, supposed to defer to people who rank under him and have them call the shots while he just signs the paperwork. Not that there's any real mystery to this, of course -- they just want to whine about Obama.
Personally, I wanted Bush to give it a more thoughtful approach from the beginning and am glad Obama is doing so now.

It is Nixon, bowing a bit stiffly.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
