Grampa Dave, as you can see from barker's comment (and reported in the New York Times) the President did a little bit of talking behind the scenes.
When the Euro Trash and Third World trash argued, they were told, "You are either with us or against us!"
Then, the foriegn trash made phone calls to their government heads. Next, their government heads called up the White House or State to complain about honoring this flag.
Then they got the same response, "You are either with us or against us! Just ask the Talibaniers, who are still alive, what this statement really means, "You are either with us or against us!"
A few hours later that US flag was honored!
As Andrew Sullivan said, this is a lesson for all America Haters. Those out of this country, and who live in this country who hate America should pay attention to this statement:
You are either with us or against us!
