When is that next plane home?

Please, why are we "pushing" China--about such a sensitive issue as the "progress" of Taiwan?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/11/15/apec.bush.china.ap/index.html

In remarks sure to rile Beijing, Bush said, "Modern Taiwan is free and democratic and prosperous.

...snip

"I have pointed out that the people of China want more freedom to express themselves ... to worship without state control ... and to print Bibles and other sacred texts without state control."

....And why are we talking Bibles?

This is intensely weird stuff.

1. Terra terra terra ... NOW I'm getting scared ...

His poll numbers are dropping and instead of "playing it safe," he's shooting his mouth off ... Is this making us any safer?

2. I think he is going to have his head handed to him..

In the most polite way possible, of course.. They OWN America now, and I suspect they will remind him of that fact while he's there. (HE may not "get it".. but his people will)

3. I am convinced he has totally lost it. Talking about printing bibles...

without state control. Yep, I think we have to commit him before he does more harm.

4. When the American surveillance plane went down near China

way back in 2001, rather than asking about the condition of the crew, bu$h is reported to have remarked "Do they have have Bibles?"
