India

This whole "you're with us or you're against us" thing is getting tricky.

The president just signed a nuke deal with our outsourcing partner, India,  but not with our war on terror partner, Pakistan,  which, by the way, seems to also be home to Osama bin Laden.  All this distracts attention from the UAE which is a modern high tech Arab country and our friend except when it is producing hijackers and laundering terror money.

    Definately made me smile with this one.

    Bush visiting America's replacement workers makes you smile?

    What's up with that ?

    "President Bush used his tour of India to promote his longtime support for outsourcing in general and to India in particular, as he visited the high tech stronghold city of Hyderabad on Friday."

    The President said "globalization provides great opportunities," but he added that: "People do lose jobs as a result of globalization and it's painful for those who lose jobs."

    Duh.

    Source????

    The purpose of his visit was far from that stated reason. Unless of course you are a Bush hater.

  6. mencken says:

    If you actually read newspaper articles rather than just reading the cartoons, you wouldn't need me to provide the source of the quotes.

  7. Auggie Fields says:

    Anticipated answer since there are no sources other than yourself. You Bush haters are very transparant.

  8. mencken says:

    The Bush outsourcing quotes I cited ran in every major news outlet in the world, from the NYTimes to the Times of India. Even Fox News Online ran the Associated Press story.

    Three things are possible here: You indeed don't read the paper, you're too lazy to look it up for yourself, or you're too obstinate to admit I didn't manufacture the quotes. Which is it?

    were his suitcases omitted purposely in the chicago trib? the cartoon takes on a slightly different tone w/out them…

    Simply asking for links like this:

    Chip, is He saying that I am illiterate because I look at your cartoons? Since he looked at them also, does that make him illiterate? He threw a bunch of insults at me but I wish he wouldn't suggest that people who look at your cartoons are uniformed.

  11. mencken says:

    Auggie, your words: "since there are no sources other than yourself". I stand by my response.

    Also, I did not accuse you of being illiterate. However, when you

    say people who read Chip's column are "uniformed", do you mean

    they dress up like soldiers or police officers ?

    Chip can you draw us a cartoon to show us what a

    Bok's Brigade uniform looks like ? I hope they have cool helmets.

  12. Auggie Fields says:

    Why is it that when trouble makers are backed down, they resort to typo and spelling responses? UNINFORMED

  13. mencken says:

    Auggie, If you can make a real case that I was "backed down" I will never bother you again. Chip can arbitrate.

    On the 24th you chastised Chip on the port deal cartoon,

    and told him to "get it straight". Since then the deal is finally being properly vetted and is facing strong bi-partisan opposition.

    Your comment on the 5th stated that Bush's trip to India was far more than just a trip to visit India's call centers. Well yes Auggie it was, but you didn't follow up with anything enlightening. Yesterday's NYTimes editorial called Bush's trip to India and Pakistan "spectacularly misconceived". Just who is getting backed down here?

    BYE.
