Why is Bush spending 5 days in Europe ??
Is this a vacation or a business trip ?? Or is he simply trying to escape a couple of uncomfortable stories back in the good ol' USA ? When he returns, everyone will be happy to see him and nobody will be talking about secret tapes or Jeff Gannon. Just stonewall a few days and all the bad news will go away. But, he may want to come back early once he sees that he is hated just as much over there as he is over here... There's just no place to hide when you are the world's number one asshole.

4. Yes he is
for funding offsets for the Iraq war and probably for the rumored June 2005 attack on Iran (see Late Breaking News for the thread).

11. The Word..."Used to Be" when a Pres is in trouble he heads "overseas."
and focuses on "Foreign Policy." Given that "Invasion" and "War" has been his focus since he let us down on 9/11...who know's why the hell he's over there. Plotting with the few people he can scrape together who support him? :shrug:

17. Maybe he needs a couple days "working" on that
sheep ranch in Scotland, not having seen Esmeralda since he was 14.
After all, Condi isn't with him on this trip. And Jeff might be tied up this weekend.
(Well, if somebody had the $1200)
