Tight security as crowds gather for Bush's inauguration

Tight security as crowds gather for Bush's inauguration
By Jenny Booth, Times Online

Half a million people are expected to flood the snowy streets of Washington today to watch President George Bush take the oath of office to begin his second term in office.

....

Excerpts released by the White House last night show that he will promise to promote liberty abroad, and offer to work with Democrats stewing over their defeat in November and angered by an Iraq policy they consider flawed.

"We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: the survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands," President Bush is expected to say.

"In a world moving toward liberty, we are determined to show the meaning and promise of liberty."

1. The final words:
Quote:

"Democrats are said already to be hoping to thwart his plans for revamping the Social Security retirement system and other domestic goals.

And if their sharp questioning of Condoleezza Rice during her Senate confirmation hearing to become secretary of state this week was any guide, they plan to keep up the pressure on Bush over his Iraq policy."

It looks like the U.K. is getting their hopes up in the press.
