What is Bush Thinking?!?

Today, Dalai Lama is in the US to get the Congressional Medal of Gold, the highest civilian honor there is in the US. The W. will attend the ceremony in Washington D.C., becoming the first U.S. president to appear in public with Dalai Lama.

What is he Thinking!!!!! He doesn't have enough trouble with his foreign policy? He has to piss China off, just at the crucial moment where China can help offset US trade deficit, can help calm Burma, can help negotiate peace with North Korea. What is he Thinking?!?

Here is what BBC reported on China's reaction"

Beijing described it as a "gross interference in China's internal affairs".

"China is strongly resentful of this and resolutely opposes it," foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao was quoted by the official Xinhua news agency as saying on Wednesday.

Even granted Dalai Lama is a great enlightened guy, this is a major bad timing for the US foreign policy. What's wrong with this country and all the bad decisions.

Of course, the Congress is the main culprit. To have the medal, it requires 2/3 of all votes. This is the second debacle after the Turkey Armenian resolution!!
