BBC (early Tuesday): Massive security for Bush visit

Dated Tuesday November 18 03:10 GMT (Monday 7:10 pm PST)

Massive security for Bush visit

A huge security operation is underway for the arrival of US President George Bush on Tuesday on a UK state visit.
Scotland Yard has increased the scale of the £5m police operation to 14,000 officers for Mr Bush's four-day trip.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected to march on London's streets to protest at his visit and voice their opposition to the Iraq war.
As well as fears of disorder, police are also responding to a heightened terrorist threat from al Qaeda.

8. A state of uneasiness and apprehension is exciting?
You must take this as one big fucking piece of entertainment, 'eh?

Anxiety about future uncertainties = Yes
Exciting = No

4. He won't see
Edited on Mon Nov-17-03 11:38 PM by Angel_O_Peace
because he so blinded by the light of his perception of being "chosen".

(but, maybe Blair will see around the edge of that glare and get a clue...)

6. Let the Queen escort Junior to Westminster Abbey.
I'm sure Her Majesty can fly him there in a specially equipped helicopter courtesy of The Royal Air Force. Minimal security would be required for this outing.

There Junior can peruse first-hand the graves of true heroes of English and world history...including 'unknown' soldiers!

Such a coward-in-chief ought to be made to see the 'real world' whilst coming to terms with the errors of his ways!

But, I am not optimistic. Junior is such a ego-maniacal dictator...and, a proven disgrace to America and the entire world! He'll want to wave to the protestors from Buckingham Palace like he is a visiting Monarch. Ugh. Even Hitler didn't go this far in England!
