China and Russia and no where with Iran - Is Bush's foriegn policy a flop?

Question

But when China told the United States it was reversing course, it also rejected a request for the USS Reuben James, a frigate with about 200 crew, to visit Hong Kong over the New Year holiday, a Pentagon spokesman said.
Also on November 22, China told the United States it would not allow the next planned quarterly flight into Hong Kong by a C-17 aircraft to support the U.S. consulate there, said the spokesman, Marine Corps Maj. Stewart Upton.

Putin's statement at a Victory Day parade on Red Square on Wednesday was artfully phrased to be both blunt and vague — but political observers have little doubt he was criticizing the United States for "disrespect for human life, claims to global exclusiveness and dictate, just as it was in the time of the Third Reich."

LONDON, Nov. 30 — Negotiators for Iran and the European Union held a new round of talks today on Iran’s uranium enrichment program, but the meeting ended with indications that the Iranians had offered no new concessions to ease Western concerns that Iran plans to develop nuclear weapons.

And the "not a priority"

Still alive making tapes and so on to the world Osama

And now a special bond between Iran and Russia

A high-level diplomatic source in Tehran tells Asia Times Online that essentially Putin and the Supreme Leader have agreed on a plan to nullify the George W Bush administration's relentless drive towards launching a preemptive attack, perhaps a tactical nuclear
strike, against Iran. An American attack on Iran will be viewed by Moscow as an attack on Russia.

If that is the case and it might well come to that sooner than later - then the world as we knew it as we inherited it from our parents is simply over

Iran or Israel won't mean a thing either way

Russia the US will be the # 1 players

Canada will be the desolate neutral zone and mean little to nothing - except we will be in the way of both Russia and the US while they duke it out - Not my idea of fun

I won't even try to predict Europe but the UK will also be smack in the middle as will we here in Canada

After the 1/2 hour to an hour of fighting there will not be a world to worry about -

The earth will belong to roaches and twinkies the only things capable of survival durring and after a nuclear war

Answer 1

Well I see World War III coming

Answer 2

Your question hardly seems worth any response at all, since most of it is just cut and paste of someone else's work.

1) Russia is just an after thought. They have minuscule military capability as compared with American strengths.

2) China has 4x the population of the USA in the same land area. While the very few are acquiring new wealth, the majority of the country is still dirt poor. They have little military to speak of. The only carrot they dangle over America is investment. We can limit that over time, if it is proven that we need to. If we pull manufacturing (and that may happen yet) their existing economy will fall like a house of cards. Workers in Mexico will enjoy a windfall and will have no need to entertain illegal immigration.

3) Iran who? Just the same sabre rattling that has been going on since the 60's.

4) The foreign policy....it is carried out in such a way that when something explodes, it is NEVER on American soil. This is a policy that works for me.

Answer 3

Bush does not have what I guess one would call a "foreign policy". Rather he likes to pick fights with countries like a blind-folded, drunk cheese head at a Chicago Bears game. Quite frankly, though, we're not going to war with China or Russia, at least not yet. Everyone seems to think that just because they have a strong military they can just take over. First of all, Russia and China HATE each other, and they have ever since the Korean Conflict, so the idea that they may attack together is ridiculous. Also, America still has the most powerful navy, air force, marine corps, and army in the world by far, with much less members I may add. Not to mention the fact that we have the strongest overall economy of any individual nation in the world. Bush may be a complete idiot, right along with his party, but not even he could screw all that up in the year he has left.

Answer 4

Are we at war with either China or Russia, and as far as a "relentless drive" to attack Iran. The only people I see pushing it are Liberals. Bush and several other Nations are doing everything diplomaticly possible to settle the problems with Iran peacefully. Which is more than I see Putin doing.

Answer 5

This situation is beyond Bush . . . it's time to pick a side . . . the line has been drawn . . . USA and Europe versus China, Russia, and Iran . . .

Answer 6

We can't control everything. Perhaps you're too freaking stupid to understand that fact?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

I like turtles.

Answer 10

bushdick doesn't HAVE a foreign policy. that would require brains, knowledge and foresight, all of which he is sorely lacking. thank god for term limits.
