...criticism may well be the angriest the Bush White House has heard. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, using an image taken up by many other critics, accused Bush of "embarrassing kowtowing." Others assailed the surreptitious nature of the mission -- it was announced in Washington at 2 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, after Scowcroft and Eagleburger had already landed in Beijing -- and the obsequious nature of Scowcroft's toast at a banquet. Scowcroft addressed the Chinese rulers as "friends," referred oh-so- delicately to "the events at Tiananmen" and described U.S. critics of the massacre as "irritants" to Chinese-American relations...
