German and US Statements on Tibet Crisis

On Friday April 10, 2008, US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier were questioned about the Tibet crisis.

The comment Condi makes at the end is in response to a question about Steinmeier's upcoming first pitch at an American baseball game. I left it in just for fun.

Wake up, China! You're irritating the whole world, and embarrassing yourself with your lame, transparent propaganda excuses.

If Tibetans weren't dying from it, I'd say keep on embarrassing yourself, China, and irritating the rest of the world. But Tibetans are dying, so I won't say that.

Free Tibet, Shame on China, Shame on IOC

Whatever the U.S. goverment says.

the government will not take any actions unfortunately because China and the U.S, economically tie.

Business people are too gready so that they ignore the reality.

Money comes first to them, and they are most influencial when it comes to politics.

dnas: Can't even manage to spell the countries you're so concerned about, like Afghanistan? Ask the people there if they want Taliban back or not. Ask Iraqis if they prefer rule by al Qaeda, who's been killing their children in quite large numbers.

Those wars that UK, US, France, Canada etc. fought, were because of totalitarian fascism. Now we have another totalitarian olympics, in Hitler's footsteps.

CCP wins the gold medal for causing deaths of own people, estimated 75 million under Mao.

I am not here to convince people. As I stated, truth does not matter. People would prefer lies over facts when it helps them to further their self interests.

I tested this and it appears to be valid.

I wont go into running this test again. It is useless. Truth needs no support. It does not need billions of people to exist. Contrary to lies. The more people believe in a lie, the more it appear real. So stay with your lies, your distortions. It does not bother me at all. On the contrary.

[TheCZMan]

Maybe putting things into context would help.

Iraq was accused with conserving WMDs while supposedly pretending to have destroyed them.

It was the state of matters when the accusation fell. It was not about Iraq ever having WMDs.

If the rest of the world would have been so in unison with the US and UK, getting an endorsement from the UN would have been a piece of cake. It wasnt.

My credibility? I dont care about my credibility. It should be obvious if you read my other comments.
