The U.S. Government today apologised for displaying an inverted Philippine flag - wrongfully signifying that the nation was in a state of war - in a meeting hosted by Barack Obama.
The Philippine flag was displayed upside-down behind President Benigno Aquino III when leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met President Obama in New York on Friday.

Maybe it wasn't a mistake.
Maybe Hussein objects to the Philippines being an staunch ally in the war against Islamofascism.

What the heck. The maggots at the UN aren’t “into” flags these days anyway.

Is this the most incompetent, wrong-headed administration in our history, or did I miss one?

Maybe they were just telegraphing Obama’s thoughts. After all, the Philippines was viewed as a loyal ally of the US...just as England once was. We all know how Obama views that "special" relationship.

UN/US (Under Obama)....what’s the damn difference...they are symbolism and bullshit coupled with a whole assload of overestimation of their intelligence and ability, counterposed by a painfully acute realization they “ain’t all that”. Not even close.....even if one of them were one of my children, I’d still be forced to choke down that parental aegis and say, “Awwww, HELL no!” [I’d then find my wife and beat her for cheatin’ on me]

I thought they flew the flag upside down because the Philippine Islands had ‘tipped over’.

Oh someone will be fired for this one. It will be some GS-5 or E-5 that gets canned from White House duty for sure. This is a tragic mistake.

But they are at war! With the Muslim terrorists. The gaffe occurred because the flag flying upside down shows the real status and reminds people of who the enemy is. Our Muslim president did not like that one bit.
To: mware
With the 0bama Regime, incompetence is the norm.
