Yeah they just leave that stuff laying around in empty hotel rooms.

[billorites]

Something about the wooden shoes makes you stupid.

[Paleo Conservative]

I find it shocking that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton had access to it. I wonder if Bill forwarded the codes to China.

[csvset]

Was this after they left the " coffeeshop" ?

[Bigh4u2]

What morons!

The President doesn't carry the 'briefcase' (not suitcase) with the Launch Codes! It's carried by a specially assigned person who travels with the President, and that person isn't generally known to the public.

These people are delusional dopes.

[dc-zoo]

Shameless idiot euros. Sounds like our demorats.

[Diogenesis]

Terrorists at Reuters ALWAYS call 'terrorists' activists.

Where is the news?

Hundreds of Dutch protesters rallied on Saturday in Amsterdam and Maastricht to protest against Bush who visited a U.S. military cemetery in the southern Netherlands on Sunday to pay tribute to the Americans who died in World War II.

That would be Margraten, a beautiful and serene spot of earth in the gently rolling hills of Limburg Province. Maastricht is a magnificent provincial town on the River Maas (Maastricht is a contraction/corruption of the Latin Maas Trajectum meaning "bridge over the Maas"), one of my favorite haunts when I lived near there.

"Hundreds" of Dutch protesters means a failed demonstration in that densely populated country. There are almost that many middle-aged Dutchmen in single extended pod of recreational cyclists coursing the Dutch byways on any given Sunday.

In a separate incident, an amateur photographer seriously hurt himself on Saturday by falling onto a spiked fence as he tried to photograph the tight security arrangements around the hotel, police said.

Major OUCH.

[nwrep]

Dutch faggots, high on dope - not a very smart combination. No wonder the Mohammedans are overruning their country.

[MisterRepublican]

This story will receive many bouncing happy smiley's over at DU. Though many will lament that these stupid "activists" didn't succeed.

That's almost as stupid as the adopted-at-birth kids who support the right to abortion.

"We're gonna stop Bush!"

[CIB-173RDABN]

I know no more about the "football" or the man that carries it, then most on this forum, but isn't it likely he is armed? Further, isn't it likely that he has authority to use deadly force to protect the "football"?

There may be a good reasons after all these years others have not gone after this briefcase (or maybe they did, and we just did not hear about it).

I hope all of these peace loving Dutch learn to love being ruled by the Muslims, since if you are not willing to fight and die for your beliefs, you will become a slave to those that are.

Dutch police arrested six activists on Sunday who said they wanted to enter President Bush's Netherlands hotel and look for the suitcase which allows him to activate nuclear weapons.

If these folks aren't careful, they're going to give idiots a bad name!

[Lazamataz]

Dutch police arrested six activists on Sunday who said they wanted to enter President Bush's Netherlands hotel and look for the suitcase which allows him to activate nuclear weapons. "We heard Bush carries a nuclear suitcase and can push the red button at any time to set off atomic weapons. We find this extremely shocking," said Leo de Groot, a spokesman for the activist group.

What would have been even more shocking, is the 9mm rounds ripping through his skull from the 12 highly-trained Secret Servicemen shooting MP-5's at him.

Ooh, I'll bet that smarts...

[MrStumpy]

I would have loved to see them go up against the carrier of the football. A US military officer who is authorized to use deadly force.

"there would have been pieces of little wooden shoes and scraps of ganja weed everywhere....it was beautifull man"

On the other hand GW knows how to handle himself as he showed in South America a while back.

[ChildOfThe60s]

These are the "intellectuals" that think *we* are stupid??

Yuk, yuk.

"We heard Bush carries a nuclear suitcase and can push the red button at any time to set off atomic weapons. We find this extremely shocking," said Leo de Groot, a spokesman for the activist group.

That's just hysterical. He has a "suitcase" with a red button in it. He pushes the button, and launches the nukes. And, he probably left it in his hotel room while he was out. And, it would be really easy to get into the president's hotel room while he's out. No problem. These guys should watch "24", they might learn something about getting their hands on the nuclear football. And they'd better hope that Jack Bauer isn't around.
