That is your reading of the lefty loons who dominate reporting. And if you don't think that the ny times over and over wrote put down and disdain in every interpretation of reporting then you have a vision and comprehension problem. Your argument is that because taking heads said it it must be true. "characterized as" by talking heads, what a joke argument.

I listen to what the President says and does and his reasons and I make up my own mind. What have the talking head recently whined about the war in Afghanistan and how stupid was all there whining. If you read my posts and assessments you find a different interpretation.

Your other real problem is that you really are very cynical and believe that President Bush could care less for Putin. The President is wise and cautious and is making a friend because America and Russia will be better off as close trusting friends wether or not Russia supports the Missile defense. The President will push forward eventually and Putin may make noise, but the noise will be limited. This is because they disagree in the issue and are sill friends.

Just as you are clueless in seeing the facts of what isolationism is, you cannot understand that it's about character. It's always about character.

"Otherwise, Bush could care less for Putin"

That is a pretty pessimistic statement without much support. Curious about your support for that view. From your backup:

"at many meetings where many world leaders appeared, Bush was often characterized as a leader who was not interested in playing on the world field"

What "many meetings" specifically, and who "characterized" Bush as not interested would be key information needed to support your view. Care to share either?

"His leaving international conferences with no interest in furthering whatever what was under discussion"

So why did he go to them? And what meetings are you referring to?
