Originally posted by shavixmirYeah, I would say that meeting with the leaders of Croatia, Albania and Macedonia, without meeting with the leader of Serbia, while declaring independence of Kosovo.... is just slightly idiotic. But well, that's Bush.

Do any of you really think Bush does anything by himself, that he decides any of these things?
Or isn't it more realistic that he surrounded by highly intelligent advisors, who tell him exactly who to speak to etc.
Just because we don't always understand what's going on or see the bigger picture, does not mean Bush is an idiot!

The message is clear. Still doesn't make it right that a world leader can basically declare a place independent, while dialogue is ongoing. The lack of tact and (positive) diplomacy is when the idiot card gets pulled out.

Ask them how much they want for his wrist-watch?

Is that just spin to protect the reputation of the secret service, that they were not vigilant enough and allowed someone to come close enough to the leader of the free world and slip his watch off his wrist?

Just goes to show that somebody with a razor blade could have had a word about Bush' proclamation of independence for Kosova, and would have gotten away in the crowd as well.

And you disagree with the video link I posted which showed him with a watch on, then a guy in the crowd taking it off, then Bush with no watch?
