No more ‘Pootie-Poot’ President George W. Bush left the flourishing metropolis of Mainz on the evening of February 23, after meeting with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, and flew to Bratislava for a dinner with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.

It's official--USA is not a democracy At a conference with Russia's President Putin, USA Chieftain George Bush in effect declared that his own current regime is no democracy. Mr. Bush claims that all democracies have 1) a rule of law; 2) protection of minorities; 3) free press, and 4) a viable opposition. Since his own regime fails on all 4 points, he unwittingly admitted that the current USA is a "failed state."...

They can't exactly run out and talk about hoarding wealth and fuck everyone else. This documents how BS is their business....

Truth of the matter is, the so-called "charm offensive" is nothing but a cynical tactic to get Europeans to support U.S. imperialism......
