BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY

Dear Buzz:
So, if the world is "more peaceful and more free under my leadership," as
Bush insists, then the following, demanded for Bush's three-day visit
to Britain, is a little gratuitous, don't you think?:
"Closure of all London subway lines, widespread blocking of London streets,
the patrolling of London skies by fighter jets and Black Hawk helicopters,
a shoot-to-kill protestors order for American special agents and snipers
WITH immunity against prosecution if they kill anyone, and the shipping
in of battlefield weaponry to use on PROTESTORS...."
Democrats.com
Er...
that battlefield weaponry would be:
" ....a piece of military hardware called a 'mini-gun', which usually forms
part of the mobile armoury in the presidential cavalcade. It is fired
from a tank and can kill dozens of people. One manufacturer's description
reads: 'Due to the small calibre of the round, the mini-gun can be
used practically anywhere."
The
Guardian
Not
to mention:
"They [the Americans] wanted blast-and bullet-proofed windows and curtains
and some strengthening to the walls of the president's suite and other
rooms at the palace where he would be spending time."
Washington
Times
Oh and that's over and above:
" ...5,000 British police officers involved in the security operation for
the president...."
Washington Times
Thank
goodness the Queen refused to have Buckingham Palace torn up and
re-structured for the cowardly demands of this Unelected (Chickenhawk)
Fraud:
"Her majesty takes the view that no amount of strengthening of windows
and walls could protect the president in such an eventuality [an airborne
attack] and that
the work would cause disruption and involve discarding original fixtures
and fittings."
Washington
Times
Unbelievable!
How can Bush even possibly stand himself! Is he on the same stuff as
Rush? This is the blowhard who swaggered "Bring
'em on!," yet
doesn't even have the guts to face non-violent protestors for even
one second:
"An internal memo sent to Cabinet Office staff and leaked to the press
this weekend urged staff to work from home if at possible during the
presidential visit. Serious
disruption would be caused by 'the President Bush vehicle entourage
requesting cleared secured vehicle routes around London and the security cordons creating
a sterile zone around him'."
The Guardian
Mr.
Bush, if this is the world that's "more peaceful and more free
under [your] leadership," then stop the world, I want to get
off!
Three
days of Bush? God Save the Queen.
