Barack Obama’s Tiger Woods’ Diplomacy Hides The Dalai Lama From China
WHILE you were reading about Israeli forces and MOSSAD maybe taking out a Hamas miltary leader – no, not in bussload of civilians but in a hit that owes more to Austin Powers than James Bond (we see the faces and the CCTV – how’s that for top secrecy?) China this morning protested over USA President Barack Obama’s meeting yesterday with Tibet’s Delai Lama.
Did you hear about it on the front pages or the headline news? No? The Delia Lama is a totem that politicians meet to make themselves look good. Nelson Mandela is busy.
THE calling in of the USA Ambassador for a stiff talking to was expected but unnecessary since when the two Nobel Peace Prize winners met yesterday the Tibetan and Buddhism Spiritual Leader was given the tradesmen’s entrance treatment.
Taking a tip from the Tiger Woods style of “news conference” there were no interviews, no questions and definitely no photographs other than one of the Delia Lama with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Later, probably realising the gaff, the picture below was rushed out.
Thirty six hours before Tibetans had celebrated the forthcoming meeting with fireworks. It was a disgraceful damp squid. Later reports say the President gave the Delai Lama strong support and the Delai Lama said he approved of the President.
Facts: The China People Liberation Army invaded Tibet in 1950 and almost wiped out its National Army, 10,000 were killed. Since then Tibetans have been denied independence The Delai Lama and Tibet government fled to India in 1959 during a period of increased tension.
