Remember the first (or was it the second) international crisis of the....

...Two Shoes administration, teafuckingbaggers? You do remember when the Chinese caused a mid-air and forced one of our planes down (and then held the crew as "guests" (hostages) while they took the plane apart)? You do remember Two Shoes' reaction as he cowered in fear at our big, bad Chinese trading partner?

Now, teamotherfuckingbaggers, notice the difference between a real President and a yellow-bellied snake dick and his five-deferment shitstain of a VP.

3. How could people fall for these phony heroes??
Whenever it came time for them to stand up and take charge, they ran and hid like the fucking cowards that they really are.

4. You pack a lot of well-targeted descriptors in few words.

5. I wish I could put that last line on a bumper sticker.
But alas, I have a compact car. :(

7. You're more of a patriot for having a compact car.....
...than any bumper sticker could possibly convey. (And I own a Saturn Ion so I should know).

6. Well Said!
I'm glad you didn't sugar-coat it.

8. I see your point, but a military plane in Chinese territory is a different animal

The pirate thing was simply a matter of when we were going to take charge. If you think we could have done the same thing in China, I think maybe you're high.

9. Agree, but there are different tactics for different situations....
...and the sad fact of the matter is that Two Shoes cowered instead of taking tougher action. And I'm not high.

10. What would you have him do? Forget that you hate him for a second.
Would you have gone to war over an airplane?

As I recall, DU was clamoring for an apology from Bush, which is what China wanted. Would that have been enough, or would you have
gone into a nuclear power with guns blazing?

12. Some people don't understand the boundries of political discourse.
They look upon all international problems like a nail. Sounds like a recently retired moron*. lol

Cheers.

13. See, that's the difference between a president who's a.....
...smart mofo and one who's a dumbass. The former collects the necessary information and takes appropriate action while the later sits on his stinky thumbs, clueless to any outcome.

14. I'm not getting your point
Bush issued a grudging apology. What would Obama have done, in your estimation? I think a grudging apology and maybe a back-channels payoff would be about the best anyone could have hoped for.
