Bush is in Austria. Cheney in charge of NK "war room"? Just wond'ring..

[chill_wind]

Or is he too in the bunkers with the 4000 gov't workers from the 50 federal agencies for their bunker drill they were supposed to be doing this week (June 19). Or are they all back? Or did they never go?
Who's in charge? I probably shouldn't even ask.

But just wondering.

Bush Arrives in Austria
By JENNIFER LOVEN , 06.20.2006, 04:02 PM


President Bush began a quick visit Tuesday to shore up ties with Europe as the White House said the capture and killing of two American soldiers in Iraq was a "reminder that this is a brutal enemy that does not follow any of the rules."

Bush and his wife, Laura, stepped off Air Force One on a warm evening after a flight from Washington.

The administration also issued a fresh warning that North Korea will face diplomatic consequences if it moves ahead with a test launching of a long-range ballistic missile.

1. Yes, what about that bunker-hunker down drill?

Notice the complete lack of media coverage on that one?
Let's face it- if a great number of us died tonight-
they would have exactly what they want.
A reason to start another war.

WE are on own own people.
Just ask the folks in New Orleans where
we, the people, stand with this elistist cabal
of war criminals and thugs.

Austria's Haider says Bush is a war criminal
Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:21am ET166


VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian right-wing populist Joerg Haider called President Bush a war criminal on Saturday, days before Austria's government hosts Bush and European leaders in Vienna.

Haider, whose group is part of Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's government coalition, said Bush's meeting with his European peers on Wednesday was pointless as he did not expect the U.S. president to pay attention to what Europe had to tell him.

Austria prepares for Bush visit
20/06/2006 14:52 - (SA)


Vienna - Police blew up suspicious-looking packages, took up positions on virtually every street corner and made sweeping passes with helicopters over downtown Vienna on Tuesday as Austria prepared for its first visit by a US president in 27 years.

George W Bush's one-day stop in Austria, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, was expected to be overshadowed by widespread European opposition to the war in Iraq and mounting calls for the shutdown of the US detention centre for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where three prisoners committed suicide this month.

6. "Out of Control"

Bush to visit Europe in face of negative opinion
Updated: 6:10 p.m. ET June 19, 2006

VIENNA, Austria

(.....)

‘Out of control’
For millions of Europeans, however, these are the issues that matter — and their concerns are shared by politicians.

Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, plans to urge Bush to close Guantanamo. Peter Pilz, a senior member of Austria’s Green party, says Schuessel should tell Bush “that the criminal actions of his government will not be tolerated in Europe.”

Pilz is one of Austria’s more outspoken public figures. Still, his sentiments — that the U.S. is breaking the law in Iraq and in its larger fight against terror — are shared by many Europeans angry over the Iraq invasion, recent suicides at Guantanamo and the reported existence of secret CIA prisons worldwide.

Newspaper editorials reflect Europe’s dismay with a partnership most here see as has having gone wrong.

We're scaring the world shitless. We really are.

And that. Scares me.

7. Every country under the sun

now hates the US. If we ever needed help there would be no one there.

[chill_wind]

10. In the immediate days after 9-11, I was startled, really

at the outpouring of human compassion and grief for us from all over the planet. The vivid photo-essay images, the candles, the flowers, the prayers, the vigils of sympathy all over the world. I had no idea we still had that much uncritical regard, friendship and human good will in the world still left, even then.

Six years. We have trashed and betrayed so much of the best of everything we ever claimed or pretended to stand for.

8. Cheney's always been the one in charge.

He's the one who goes into hiding when anything dangerous happens, you notice.

9. And if that is not enough to scare you strait nothing will

yea the pos who selected himself to be w* running mate, now you want me to sleep.
