I don’t know...is it possible whoever wrote the caption got it wrong and just thought he was bowing? I mean it sure looks like he’s going down to pick something up. Even the guy to his right looks like he’s going in to do the same. And then you got those other guys all looking down at something. I sure hope that’s the case, if not we will all be the laughing stock.

For those who claim he might not be bowing, here’s what the caption on the photo says:

Yes, yes it possible. I know I bet what the picture shows is not ‘Zero’ bowing but being chiding about his fly being open! Some people! I bet that those pictures of the planes flying in to the Twin towers werenot acts of terror they were simple flight sudents’ navigational errors!

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if his intention was to bow or not... If WE are seeing that this looks like capitulation just IMAGINE what our enemies see in this...

This is exactly why protocol is important, actions sometimes speak much louder than words when it comes to diplomacy.

I mean it sure looks like he’s going down.

He'll do that tonight. It's frowned upon at a formal event.
