Bush Dines w/ Chirac as Crowd Protests Outside (News from the Free World)
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=4161845
President George Bush was dining with French President Jacques Chirac tonight – against the backdrop of banner-waving protesters shouting for him to go back to America.
-snip-
The message over dinner was the same as President Bush delivered earlier in a speech to Belgian business leaders – let’s begin a new era of transatlantic unity.

But outside in the street tonight, members of the public were delivering their own message to George Bush.

Crowds gathered as close to the embassy building as police would allow, shouting in protest and waving banners proclaiming “Bush go home” and “See you in The Hague” – a reference to the War Crimes Tribunal which Washington’s enemies believe the president should face for his military intervention in Iraq.

If only they could snatch him and put him on trial for his crimes against humanity.

4. The neoCONs should have the "freedom" to be delivered to the Hague,...
,...by the people who are survivors of their predatory positioning upon the rest of the world.
