Bush Trip Brings Threat Of Unrest
 Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu warned Friday of looming "grave threats" in demonstrations during the visit to Rome of President Bush next week.

Pisanu did not say the president himself was threatened. He was referring to a threat to public order and not to any possible terror attack, an Interior Ministry official said on customary condition of anonymity.

Mr. Bush will be in Italy June 4-5; on June 2, Italy marks Republic Day. Both occasions are expected to draw thousands of demonstrators protesting both the war in Iraq and the occupation, as well as the Italian government's staunch support for the U.S. administration.

"Grave threats are looming, which concern us, but don't frighten us" ahead of both events, Pisanu said during a speech Friday, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.

5. Amen to that.
We should be marching every weekend, at a minimum, until these traitors are stopped in their tracks and impeached!

3. When I read this article on Yahoo,
it said that they would need 10,000 security people, many of whom will be plainclothes agents, milling about in the crowds to keep an eye on things.

This is not counting the hundreds of security people from the US who have already arrived and are checking the area.

Can you imagine? That's how hated Bush is, the world over. He will probably wear a Kevlar vest when he shows up.

And also imagine: Bush has requested an audience with the Pope, who last week proclaimed that Bush is the Anti-Christ.

How's that for a welcome.

Have a great time, George!!!

6. He needs to stay home because he is costing the world a ton of money
No one wants him and he is hated all over the wold but he just doesn't get it does he.

How many secret service agents do we have to pay for to protect his war mongering ass.

I hate what he has done to our country and the whole world.
