The international reaction section makes reference to unscripted and eavesdropped comments by U.S. President Bush (get Syria to stop this shit, is the general gyst). While certainly illuminating his doltishness and poor grasp of foreign affairs, I don't believe they are appropriate to this section insofar as private comments do not represent public policy, and a president's personal opinions cannot necessarily be construed as "international reactions". Bush also made the startling revelation to Putin that "Russia is big and China is big"; while this is certainly risable it is not a good candiate for inclusion in the Geography article for either nation.
