Anti-Bush tensions SCUTTLE Laura Bush's plans in INDIA

[Bluebear]

HYDERABAD (INDIA): Less than five days before his trip to the city, the entire administration seems to be on tenterhooks with the official perception that some elements are deliberately trying to create trouble in the run up to George Bush's visit.

Even as Bush's secret service agents are camping in the city and analysing everything, inimical elements are trying to create tensions by not only berating Bush but also by fomenting trouble between Hindus and Muslims.

Destruction of parts of a temple on late Friday night and throwing torn pictures of holy figures on late Saturday night are being seen as evidence of this mischief making.

To be on the safe side, the US secret service has curtailed Laura Bush's programme and as per latest information she would now stick with hubby George. Laura was supposed to visit the University College for Women, Koti, just outside the Old City and the Freedom Foundation at Bolarum in Secunderabad.

11. Bet India wouldn't go along with Bush's security demands re Taj Mahal

An integral part of the Taj Mahal's magnificence (or "great magnificence" as W redundantly describes it) is the large open aspect of the building, including the reflecting pool in front of it, the long avenues approaching it, the nearby luxury hotel with room views of it, etc., The kind of security Bush demands would not be possible without pretty much locking up and clearing a very large inhabited area around it, as well as desecrating this wonder of the world with armaments.

10. Oh aquart, you are very funny and you said what I was thinking.

I have a tech support and phone solicitation job there. I wonder if I could ask Crazy King George to say hi.

7. Laura Bush Picture... if it showed the glowing red eyes...

you could plainly see the resemblance to various imagined appearances of Satan (in the picture above). It's a wicked expression with devilishly large mouth, squinty eyes, swooping eyebrows and bulging tendons in the neck... the nice wig covers the horns though, and the automatic "red-eye" reduction has hidden the glowing red irises... Yet you can see the 'power' and supreme confidence--her unquestioned control of the situation as displayed by her posture and expression... Shrub must obey her and we mere humans must fear her.

8. Now pickles, at least they are not burning your effigy!

Just your stupid assed husband's! I take issue with the word elements here. The population of India has been protesting every day for the last week the visit from our king**.

14. Hah!

"...the entire administration seems to be on tenterhooks with the official perception that some elements are deliberately trying to create trouble in the run up to George Bush's visit."

Maybe "some elements" is the entire population of India.

Very perceptive of the White House!
