U.S. Embassy Asks Bush Twins to Leave Country
Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News.

(snip)

Thursday night, an ABC News producer was able to walk into their hotel unchecked and engage Barbara Bush in conversation while she checked her e-mail on a computer in the lobby. Jenna sat talking with friends on a sofa nearby. No Secret Service agents were anywhere to be seen in the lobby, according to ABC News' Joe Goldman.

And yesterday the Bush twins were spotted at the Sunday soccer matches, wearing team jerseys and sitting in the owner's box, watching Argentina's top team Boca Juniors compete. Several games have been canceled due to violence in the crowds this year. In fact, last weekend no spectators were allowed to attend the match other than season ticket holders.

2. Great Vacation Spot
I know a place that really needs their help--Iraq.

Maybe they could vacation there, and relieve two troops to come home.

4. I think the Iraqi soccer trainer had troubles working there




Bernd Stange had to give up in 2004, because of the security situation.

I don't know if they still play soccer over there

6. So if they get mugged or killed
is it the host countries fault?

Friggin brats. Why aren't they in Iraq or at the least working at a real job?
