BIG BUMP

Yeah, how many "hours" did Bush know that he intended to go to Afghanistan before he did, in fact go there, and why wasn't the NYT given that information ahead of time?

BTTT!

Bush flew into Afghanistan on what was supposed to have been a flight to India, where tens of thousands gathered in New Delhi to protest his visit.

Oh, this just gives me additional glee over this story. He stiffed the protesters while going into Afghanistan to support our troops.

Love it!

Too bad that little paper in Texas didn't get the scoop this time.

[Cindy]

Yep, watching it on the news now.

Thousands (of Muslims) rally in Delhi to protest Bush visit

NEW DELHI: Tens of thousands of people waving black and white flags and chanting "Death to Bush!" rallied on Wednesday in New Delhi to protest a visit by US President George W Bush.

Crowd estimates varied, but one police officer said as many as 100,000 people, most of them Muslim, had gathered in a fairground in central New Delhi ordinarily used for political rallies, ahead of Bush's arrival late on Wednesday.

Among the speakers was Raj Babbar, who said: "Whether Hindu or Muslim, the people of India have gathered here to show our anger. We have only one message- killer Bush go home".

While Bush remains more popular in India than he is in many other countries, many* here object to US policies, especially the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Wednesday's protesters carried placards that read: "Bully Bush, Go Home", and "Death to America, Death to Bush".

Police, some of them armed with rifles, were heavily deployed around the fairground, but as the rally grew, protesters charged a stage where about 200 Muslim leaders were waiting to speak, knocking over television cameras.

Surindra Singh Yadav, a senior police officer in charge of crowd control, said there were about 100,000 protesters.

*- Muslims/ Commies/ Leftists again.



Good news for Bush! Indians are gung-ho on US:

David Gregory version:

"President Bush ran away from protestors to go to the more friendly environs of a US military base in Afhganistan--not that I'm saying Afghanistan is safer, because it's a total mess and a warr zone, so that's why he had to SNEAK in. Meanwhile, instead of giving a lesson in democracy and free speech to the crowd assembled to greet him in India, the President chose to spurn a growing nuclear power. Clearly the Indian government will see this as a slap in the face, as will those Muslims whose country, Afghanistan, the President entered without first asking permission. Keith?"

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said, "There are security precautions that were taken and we are confident in the security precautions that have been taken. One of those was not informing you of the trip until now."

Over here in Ramadi, we are HOWLING!!! Everyone I've showed this to has burst out laughing. Nice shot, Scottie!!

I certainly hope David Gregory was informed about this ahead of time.

I gotta say it: your President has style. He's in a class all by himself, and a true Wartime President.

Good effort, Sir! Nicely done.

Yes, he knows that the media would have alerted their al-Qaeda friends in a heartbeat. ;-)
