Bush requests permission to "shoot-to-kill" rioters....

[kentuck]

The Brits agree to a "free-speech zone" - much like in th US - but they are calling them "sterile zones" over there.. Why are they so paranoid? Must have done somebody wrong??

Home Secretary David Blunkett has refused to grant diplomatic immunity to armed American special agents and snipers travelling to Britain as part of President Bush's entourage this week.
In the case of the accidental shooting of a protester, the Americans in Bush's protection squad will face justice in a British court as would any other visitor, the Home Office has confirmed.

The White House initially demanded the closure of all Tube lines under parts of London to be visited during the trip. But British officials dismissed the idea that a suicide bomber could kill the President by blowing up a Tube train. Ministers are also believed to have dismissed suggestions that a 'sterile zone' around the President should be policed entirely by American special agents and military.

Demands for the US air force to patrol above London with fighter aircraft and Black Hawk helicopters have also been turned down.

1. What a spineless, little turd he is.

Scared for his life because he has "knowingly" pissed the whole world off at him. He can't even visit a country that backed him in his war without the people protesting him.

2. Damn!

Now he's fucking dictating how the UK holds it's own protests??? Shit! WHY did they give in to that bastard? "Sterile Zone?" I can't wait until that fucking AWOL Weasle is out of office! I cannot take 4 more years of that asshole. Damn wimp. :mad:

3. IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT

I thought we had a revolutionary war with them. I guess they found "OUR CONSTITUTION" Maybe they will be kind enough to give it to bush so he can bring it back here where it belongs when he comes back. I think that they should entrust it with Laura though since she is a librarian. She can put it in the Library of Congress.

I kinda wish they had allowed this. A picture is worth 1,000 words and all that
