Need a little help here - regarding a pre-9/11 Bush trip where the
security was on the watch for planes attacking the ship that Bush was spending the nights on.

I've been accused of making this up, and I'm hoping that my memory isn't that faulty.

4. I think it was in Genoa, Italy
Edited on Tue Jan-20-04 11:15 AM by lefty_mcduff
Don't think it was a boat, but rather anti-aircraft batteries set up at a WTO meeting as a defense against hijacked airplanes being creashed in to the building. This was in response to a direct threat and proves that this nonsense from Condi Rice - 'they had no idea' (about the threats of 9/11) is utter bullshit.
