No wonder Bush has been yelling at staffers lately
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 08:01 PM by Quixote1818
Talk about stress! Wherever he goes people hate him and want to kill him. It's gotten so bad that on his trip to Asia he now has to stay in an Aircraft Carrier for safety!!!

Or is this a decoy so North Korea will take a shot at him and then he can start WWIII?


Bush May Stay in US Aircraft Carrier

By Jung Sung-ki
Staff Reporter

PUSAN _ U.S President George W. Bush may stay in the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk, which arrived in the port of Pusan (Busan) for military exercises, while attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Pusan, sources said Sunday.

Snip>

Washington has kept secret where Bush will stay during the global meeting, fearing potential terrorist attacks against the U.S. president.

2. That happened in Italy as well - August 2001 (OBL is preparing to
attack US). It's nothing new - and a potential danger for us.

9. That happened in Italy as well .
A report went out that al Q was going to have a suicide mission via airplane crash into the meeting place. CondiLiar later says that no one could have imagined that palnes would be used to crash into buildings. Was she out of loop on the Italy thing or lying?

6. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and
see the $$$$$ the Navy is going to spend fixing up his Presidential Suite on the Kitty Hawk...... And you KNOW they will do something like that because he REQUIRES it.

11. If the Navy itself does the work they will pulverize every
surface in the room with chipping hammers and paint the whole works Haze Grey.

Been there.

13. He will get the suite they usually give to the embarked flag
It is a nice size, with a large living area, a dining area, a little mess, and a huge bedroom with a queen sized bed and a generous, private crapper. And everything within spitting distance will be commandeered for use by his staff.

A lot of pretty senior bastards are gonna be shoved into junior staterooms, and a lot of junior folks are gonna be hotracking.

Hey, it rolls downhill!!!!

7. Almost a hard choice - send N. Korea a thank you or demand war
if they take out *. Like I said, almost a hard choice.

21. Well, I recall an annoying little exercise around this time of year
in that end of the world, but it usually ruined Christmas/New Years, not Thanksgiving.

22. you would know better than I
Nothing surprises me anymore with bushco**. I suspect the closest carrier was determined to be put in place at the same time his Asia trip was planned.

24. Well, Shitty only has to come out of Yokosuka, Japan
She is homeported/forward deployed there. So it isn't that much of a haul, really....assuming nothing breaks!!!

She's no spring chicken though--over 40 years old! She is also not a nuke--the Japanese have a prohibition against the nuclear propulsion thing...and that is really the only reason why they keep patching her up. They patched up MIDWAY (Kitty's predecessor) until it had almost no original parts!

So, no fancy, shmancy, state of the art carrier for the Monkey!

16. Didn't the little loser stay on an air craft carrier during the G8 summit
talks in Italy in '01 for safety reason, because of a threat of terrorists planning on flying planes into buildings? And, who could have imagine that, before 9/11? :eyes:

20. Brings his own chef and food while traveling, too
Skeered of being poisoned.

<snip>

US officials declined to say how many people are in the US delegation to the summit.

But they noted that, while Washington does not directly foot the bill for security measures, Bush brings a sizeable contingent of US Secret Service for his protection, as well as armored limousines and his own helicopters.

The US president also shipped a chef and a supply of food to Argentina, according to a spokeswoman for the hotel where he is staying.

25. Hell, let him pay his mess dues, and eat in the wardroom like the rest
of the commissioned officers. Or if he wants to be a snot, he can give the Captain some dough and eat out of his mess.

Ya eat with the O's, ya gotta pay. Of course, he could always be a real man of the people, and go down on the messdecks with the crew...yeah, like that would happen...but they have bug juice down there, which is pretty close to Kool-Aid!!!!
