Bush, Roh Have Testy Exchange at Summit

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - President Bush's talks with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun ended on a sour note Friday not over the war in Iraq, but rather the Korean conflict that ended with a truce more than five decades ago.
As Bush began to wind down his stay at the Asia-Pacific summit, Roh challenged him to make a declaration to end the Korean War. That conflict ended in a truce in 1953, not a peace treaty, so the two sides technically remain at war.

The awkward exchange occurred during the first in a series of sit- downs that Bush had here with leaders from Pacific Rim nations. He also spoke Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin and will meet on Saturday with the leaders of Japan, Indonesia and Australia. Protesters plan a march through the city on Saturday, a day after scuffles broke out between riot police and some demonstrators.

Bush said that during his talks with Roh, he reaffirmed the U.S. position that Washington will consider the war formally over only when North Korean leader Kim Jong Il actually dismantles his nuclear program.

Whatever Roh heard Bush say through his translator, it wasn't good enough.

1. And Roh has to communicate with the guy through an interpretor

we thought we had it bad.

[tanyev]

3. Think how hard it must be for the interpreter.

"Blah, blah, blah...some crazy ass stuff that doesn't make any sense...blah, blah, blah."

2. President Take Revenge is contemplating what it will be for Roh.

4. *'s worst nightmare - a question he hasn't rehearsed.

"terra - stay the course - terra - Al Qaeda in Iraq - get the job done"

5. Hey, George- just have your DOJ thugs beat him down!

6. waterboard him! get the chemical lights!

7. I am really uniformed I guess,

I wasn't aware that it was a truce and not a declaration. We should have at least delared that we were not a war with South Korea. I don't know if thats possible but since they are seperate you would think that could be done. And yes, our supreme leader looks shitfaced as usual. I can read his little mind, (I have to sit here and listen to this bullshit. Oh you are so going to get yours.)

8. Well, since there was never a declaration of war in the first place...

...perhaps we don't have to worry quite so much about President Foot-In-Mouth McSwagger restarting it. Maybe.

9. Ruh Roh!

11. Damn, you're too quick. nt

[Lasher]

12. How juvenile.

I was about to do the same thing myself but was too slow on the draw. :D

[lynnertic]

10. AP is wrong, it never ended, there was a ceasefire not a truce.

[Lasher]

13. Why does Roh need Junior's permission?

If I were in his place I would just call up Kim and say, "War's over, mmmkaay?" I guess Roh's worried we might pull out our 40,000 troops and stop pissing away billions of dollars to help prop up his economy.

14. Another example of Bush spreading the love... n/t

15. that is his pissed off face. He looks like that when

the press asks him questions he doesn't like. The lips drawn to a thin line (not that he has any lips anyway) then pursed. 499 more days - I hope we survive it.
