'Old friend' McCain chides China in Dalai Lama visit

By Curtis Wackerle, Aspen Daily News

Saturday, July 26, 2008

China must release all Tibetan political prisoners and account for the disappearance of protesters after last spring's uprising, Sen. John McCain said after meeting with the Dalai Lama on Friday.

Next month's Beijing Olympics must be a time for China to demonstrate to the world its commitment to "basic human rights," said McCain, who called on China and Tibet to engage in a "meaningful dialogue on genuine autonomy for Tibet."

McCain also referenced the disappearance of people after the conflict in Tibet in March where Chinese troops arrested hundreds and killed dozens who had taken to the streets to mark the 49th anniversary of an uprising against the Chinese occupation.

China must account for those who are still unaccounted for, and release all other political prisoners, McCain said.

pa engineer - you wrote on an earlier thread while supporting the ChiCom trolls that those of us who supported the end of enocide in Tibet and protested ChiCom excesses in Sudan, Iraq, and Iran were “foreign agents, idiots, and morons.”

What do you think of Sen. McCain? He is saying the same thing aboutTibet that most of us here do. Do you think Sen. McCain is a foreign agent too? Possibly a Vietnamese foreign agent? /sarc

If some guy, say somebody here on FR, kept stalking your every post, kept lying about what you’d posted, kept pinging all his buddies about you, and kept this up for days and days, at what point would you start to think he might be a latent homosexual?

LOL - your posts are visible for all of FR to see. Troll.

And this one makes no logical sense either but that’s not new for you.

I told you before that we could only be “good friends,” that I already had a family, and that I didn’t “swing your way.” But due to your constant stalking of me, I think we can no longer even be “friends.”

But I do hope you find that “special someone” one day.
