#1 I wonder what Jerry Brown would say if Bush visited Oakland.

#2 Bush should never go there LOL

#3 I wonder what the serious threats are. Peacenicks or jihadies. Peacenicks are a LOL, Jihadies are another matter. Italians are as grown up as we are. I wish we had some Italian Rantburgers. But I hope GWB goes and does well. But I think the 'feel good crowd' will spin it as a war crime. To bad. So easy when you don't have the UN doing your security.

#4 There are "serious threats" hanging over President Bush’s planned visit to Rome next week

Let's face it, there are serious threats to Bush wherever he sets foot in Europe. Good thing he's got all those WW2 vets to protect him (80 years old and they can still kick jihadi ass).

#5 I'm more worried about when Bush visits Normandy. The French can't be trusted to provide reliable security.

#6 I'll echo Charles, the French just plain can't be trusted, I think we've all learned that.
But if anything were to happen to an American president on thier soil, the effect on our already shaky relations with the frogs could be disasterous for them.

I have a co-worker who visited Israel last year. When asked if he was not afraid to go there, he answered “I would be afraid to go to Oakland “

#8 Whoop-dee-do. Let Cheney become President. How's that for 'serious threat'?

#9 I don't like your tone, Anon5042.
I think Cheney would be fine in the driver's seat, but I want President Bush!
I'm seriously praying for his safety and wellbeing on this trip!

#10 Jen, I think A5042 might be referring to Cheney Unleashed™ - a consequence some of our enemies haven't quite thought through ;-)

#11 How bout Rummie or Condy for prez? If I were American I'd vote for either of them!

Bush is under immediate threat 24/7, so big whoop about this new one.

Did anybody read about how Madonna was gonna do a tour of Israel but cancelled after palestinians sent threats against her children in the mail? Apparently they had details of all her staff/movements and freaked her out so much she cancelled.

If that's what they'll do to stop Madonna, imagine what Bush's daily life of security hell must be like!

Which is also why I like him so much: for so many fascist Islamists to want to kill him, he must be doing sumpin right.

#12 Given Bush's actions, he's a target no matter where he goes - but there are a lot more people over there who have the necessary stupidity to try something.

Only thing that might seriously worry me is that '00 curse thing, where every President elected in a year ending in zero has either died or had an attempt on their life while in office . . .

#14 Because he's a liberal, the nuts don't want to assasinate their best friend.
