100,000 protestors gretted Shrub in New Deli!

[napi21]

They were yelling and carrying signs that read "death to Bush", "Bush Go Home!", etc.

This is just now on CNN, some reporter speaking from New Deli!

1. He's clearly popular in the World.....

....:sarcasm:

[napi21]

4. I'm actually surprised that he goes abroad anymore!

I can't even imagine how I'd feel if 98% of the people in the World hated me! Damn, I'd stick with my staged and controlled appearances.

[nickinSTL]

2. did he SEE any of them?

or were they safely kept out of sight?

[CottonBear]

5. He's wasn't there yet. He made that "surprise" stop in Afghanistan. n/t

[nickinSTL]

12. ahh...of course...

and I doubt he WILL see any.

[gratuitous]

13. How much of our foreign policy is conducted by "surprise" visits?

Bush to Afghanistan; Rice and Hughes to various locales; Rumsfeld and Cheney, well, pretty much any time they show up in public it's a surprise.

And yet, the popular media treat these unscheduled flybys as somehow akin to a serious conducting of foreign policy. How much substantive discussion happens during these layover diplomatic stops? Meet, greet, shake a few hands, pose for a few photos, and zip! gone again.

But the popular media treat these "meetings" as if foreign policy is actually being enacted, and it's not. Diplomacy requires a little more than a photo op. But do we get that discussion from the fawning media? We do not. They're happy to take pictures, run a few moments of video and pretend that Chimpy did something real with his dash through Afghanistan.

16. Chimpy has to surprise them otherwise they wouldn't let him come. n/t

3. "Bush: The worlds biggest terrirest (sic)" sign pic: *'s head on a dog

"Bush go home" was another sign. They had a lot of signs and a nifty burning effigy of Bush.

Get this Corporate Media crap:
The CNN reporter (Satinder Binder sp?) form India said that 100,000 was not a lot of people if you consider the population of India. He said that the protesters were mostly Indian Muslims and thus put all the blame on Muslims. Of course Soledad agreed with him, nodding and smiling.

What utter bullshit. Most all Indians seem to hate Bush along with most all of the rest of the freaking world.

6. I bet the 100,000 est. was low too! Why else would they need

5,000 security people to protect his sorry a**?

[CottonBear]

11. Bush wasn't even anywhere near the protest.

There seemed to be security there but there was a huge crowd od protesters. I'm sure most of the security people travel in a bubble around Bush. :(

[mmonk]

7. He's such a rock star.

[napi21]

8. Do you remember when other Countries CHEERED when our

President visited???? It seems like SUCH A LONG time ago!

[CottonBear]

9. It was a long time ago. *sigh* n/t

[mmonk]

10. Seems way back in the rear view mirror now.

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. It always amazes me to see signs in English at these protests

Tells just exactly who the audience is they're trying to reach. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

[schmuls]

15. I don't think he'll be forced to see any of them..they're too afraid

he'll throw a tantrum later.
