Bush Down Under

[dArKeR]

Canberra, Australia--An unprecedented and massive security operation was mounted to protect President George Bush from evil doers when he visited Australia last week.

Bush arrived with an entourage of 600 personnel , a fleet of armoured limousines, a squadron of 15 aircraft, including his personal jet Air Force One, Air Force Two , F/A 18 Hornet fighter jets, and lots and lots of guns.

Airspace restrictions were enforced over the Australian capital Canberra, a Department of Defence radar screening system was activated and specialist counter-terrorist bodies, such as Defence's Tactical Assault Group, were on standby. Even the City Council restricted the flying of kites, the walking of dogs in public parks, public shows of affection, idle chit-chat, chewing of gum, and will also ban early morning jogs, which it stated to be very suspicious behaviour at the best of times.

By contrast, President Hu Jintao, leader of the most populous nation in the world arriving shortly after Bush, will be accompanied by his mum and arrives on a QANTAS flight from Beijing with a night-stop-over in Hong Kong.

1. Worst President Ever is the most expensive president ever

It makes me wonder what the total cost is to the citizens of this country and other countries, protecting his sorry a**

Remember that little country which pleaded for him not to visit because they could not afford it? And the administration obliged, but put a spin on it so they could "save face." I don't think it ever penetrates bush's dense skull that he deserves to be called The Most Hated Person In The World.

2. Maybe

someone will apologize to the Dixie Chicks. I think a whole lot of people are ashamed/will be that they are from the US. In fact they will be down right afraid to say they are from the US. I haven't been out of the country since 01 in fact flew in to NY on 8/11/01 and am curious to see first hand what the attitude towards Americans is out there, probably will take a trip in 04.
