Bush in Russia ahead of G8 summit

US President George W Bush has arrived in Russia ahead of a G8 summit in St Petersburg at the weekend.

On his arrival Mr Bush met Russian NGO leaders. Later on Friday he is due dine with President Vladimir Putin.

...

The US president and his wife Laura arrived in St Petersburg to an understated welcome, the Associated Press news agency reports.

They immediately went to pay their respects at a monument honouring those who defended the city during WWII before meeting human rights, education and environmental activists.

1. I suppose he went early to inform Putin that he is not doing enough

to advance individual freedoms. One of these days Putin is just going to flat out bitch slap him.

3. Considering...

Considering Putin is a 6th dan black belt in Judo, he would do a lot more than just 'bitch slap' him.

2. Presumably this statement -

" before meeting human rights, education and environmental activists."

................means that a load had flown in from the USA and UK. :rofl:

6. Did you hear him saying "fait accompli" yesterday. It came out as

"fight oh camp play" if I remember correctly. German leader standing there and all. Funny as hell.

8. Bush and Laura arrived to an understated welcome...

I guess they couldn't find any people to hand pick for the occasion.

No Control/No Meeting

One German poll showed 69% of the German public did not want * to visit.
