6000 Cops, 7000 Troops to Guard Chimp in Most Expensive Inaug. in History
Edited on Tue Jan-18-05 07:51 PM by Stephanie



Just reported on the Newshour. 7000 troops? Are they National Guard? How do they evade posse comitatus? Is that null and void under the patriot act?

13,000 guards surrounding the Chimperor for his Coronation. That's just obscene.

2. repukes are the ones who
knock people off..what are they worried about? Someone's going to get even for sending their son or daughter to die or someone is pissed off about the potential of their Social Security getting drained by Wall Street?

4. The entire George W. Bush inaugural is a porcine abomination.
A piece of shit, he and this ridiculous obscenity of a ceremony. That pig sent thousands of people to Iraq to die for his whims and the piece of garbage himself was AWOL. Coming on the heels of that information, this pile of steamers throws himself the most expensive debacle of an inauguration party the US has ever seen?

AND OUR TROOPS DON'T HAVE ARMORED VEHICLES, while this scumbag has all this unprecedented security.

No good can come of this. It's an embarrassment, and so much worse.
