Bush bashes Tory leader!

[Drake Tungsten]

How the hell does childishly banning an important politician "safeguard those priorities"?

It puts Howard in a bind with the members of his own party. Read the article. Top Tory members are already flying to New York to try to patch things up with the Republicans. The Bushies have weakened Howard's support within his own party just by doing something as simple as refusing to deal with him.

how this action attempts to accomplish Bush Adminstration goals

By showing the rest of the world we'll be petty to anyone that offers a contrary opinion to the administration? Yeah, that'll do wonders to stave off the anti-Americanism that has been rising all over the world . So Bush's goal is to further isolate ourselves from the rest of the world... I guess that is working.

Well Imran, this is the only type of thing those barbarians in Old Europe understand...

What do you expect us to do, start letting them into our country or something, Mr. Neville?

Especially in that nest of anti-Americanism, that dirty liberal terrorist place called Britain

BTW, this whole "Howard only offered a contrary opinion" line is pure chicanery. Howard led a concerted attack on Blair, the Bush administration's most valuable ally in the War on Terror. He didn't just voice a dissenting opinion.

We musn't let ANY british government official into Washington...What if their actually a cleverly disguised android, and when they go into Washington...BOOM! A nuke goes off!
No. We musn't take the chance, especially given Britains previous track record in attempting to violate US Sovergnty.

You gotta admit, Berz, this adminstration more than most is intolerant of the contrary opinion.

Never said they were tolerant But Drake has a point, this does send a message.

CT, I think you've just convinced me that Drake is right, sadly, by taking Imran's side

[Drake Tungsten]

Drake I hope Ming bans you.

I hope so, too.

On the other hand, it hasn't touched the Conservatives in the polls. And considering how massively unpopular the Iraq war is in Europe, press about how Bush is coming down on the Conservatives for not supporting it will only help them.

So wait, an opposition leader now cannot 'lead a concerted attack on' the PM'? WTF?!

And btw, "leading a concerted attack on Blair" is just offering a contrary opinion. Perhaps you aren't clear how political parties work. I guess when Bush disagreed with the 'nation building' Clinton was doing was not a contrary opinion at all, but leading a concerted attack... I guess our allies in nation building with Clinton should have told Bush that he wouldn't be allowed to speak to them, eh?

The REAGAN has shown me the light Why let foreign imperialist devils into our sacred land...So that they can take the oppritunity to express their jealousy by slaughtering milions, nay, BILLIONS of innocent Americans?! I don't think so

[Kuciwalker]

Actually, Imran, that may have been a good idea
