Bush-Jiang Meeting Set for Oct. 25

Meeting Between President Bush, Chinese President Jiang Zemin Set for Oct. 25 at Crawford Ranch

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine Aug. 2 — It's a date: President Bush is hosting Chinese President Jiang Zemin at his Texas ranch on Oct. 25 for wide-ranging talks on the anti-terror war, weapons proliferation and other issues.

"This visit is an opportunity for the president to work with the Chinese leader on a number of areas of mutual concern and to make progress in resolving outstanding differences," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said Friday in a statement.

A late-October summit between the two leaders was accidentally disclosed by State Department officials earlier in the week, before the official White House announcement.

Items on the Bush-Jiang agenda could include complaints from the Pentagon that China has not been eager to share intelligence on terrorism issues with Washington. The bipartisan U.S.-China Security Review Commission also recently issued a report saying China has violated pledges not to export missile-related technology and nuclear materials.

For its part, China objects to Washington's missile defense plans and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Bush often uses his 1,600-acre spread in Crawford, Texas, to entertain world leaders

Maybe Bush can use Jiang Zemin as a ranch hand for, say, 25 cents an hour.

Just a thought... it would be kind of cool if a bunch of Freepers were in the area at the same time handing out anti-PRC literature and conducting info sharing sessions with the mass media folks hanging out in Crawford. We need to get some media exposure of ideas that those in power are either too cowardly or, alternatively, too politically emasculated, to share.

I cringe whenever Dubya has to meet up with this smiling ChiCom ghoul.

Maybe Dubya should take Jiang hunting? To show Jiang how much of a good sport he is, Dubys should give him a 15 minute head start :-)

This is undeserved hospitality for a Commie pervert who reportedly gets his kicks watching the 9/11 terror attacks.
