How many words is this picture worth?

This recent picture was paired with the headline: "Bush warns Russia to pull back"






My view?

While Georgia's president is a virtual US policy puppet, the Russian response has been disproportionately strong. Given the strong will of Putin, I see him as wanting to restore some form of "respect" if you will to the great Russian bear.

Bushes stance here is antagonistic at the least and Putin is displaying his steadfastness and an attitude that seems to display his disdain from "American meddling"

I dont know.

To me it looks like Putin is afraid Bush is going to punch him.

I think you guys are reading to much into pictures of two men in motion. The expressions, stances, and seeming interactions are all happenstance. Show me a video and maybe I would make assumptions on the physical communication but I will not based on a half a second frozen in time.

Its all an act. Look at that cigar in Bush's pocket. He's probably going to give it to his buddy Putin once their out of view of cameras.
The true shadow government that planned this in sync with the Olympics so the majority of the world would be distracted. They will use this to destroy Americans sovereignty.

I completely agree with you. They could have been smiling before this shot for all we know. Though I doubt it.

I will play along....


Bush to Putin: DUDE, you are wrong! MY Beach Vollyball Girls are hotter then your girls.
