Thousands Protest Over Bush Visit (Vienna, Cindy is There!)

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21062006/140/thousands-protest-bush-visit.html

Thousands of protesters have marched though the streets of Vienna chanting "Bush Go Home!" US President George Bush is in the Austrian capital for a summit with senior EU officials. In a press conference Mr Bush has renewed calls for tough action on Iran.

He said that the US is prepared to negotiate with the Islamic Republic as soon as they suspend their nuclear activity.

Mr Bush also responded to widespread European calls to close Guantanamo Bay.

He said the US would like to close the detention centre in Cuba, but that it wasn't possible because the detainees were "cold-blooded killers" who would "murder people if they were let out on the street".

Jesus must have told him they're guilty.

He's a cold blooded murderer too.

have had to actually see how much he is not liked.

trust "Darko Bandic" on this one considering the symbolism. (Echoes of Saddam, hotel entrance and Bush 1.)

yet the picture captions seem to talk only about "leftist" protesters. Maybe it's a sort of across the board thing.

Thanks.

I have seen her tatoo in person. :)

(Although I'd really like to hear from the tattoo artist who did the tattoo and the person who sold her the shoes, just for corroboration.)

I remember when she got this in San Francisco.If you want a picture the day she had it done let me know/I have one.It was on her birthday last year

That's the excuse we've heard from him and Rumsfeld over and over again. But if that's the case, then nothing should be stopping them from putting them on trial and convicting them, as is typically done with 'killers'. (Unless they kill in large numbers and to the ... nevermind.)

Has anyone ever ASKED them what is stopping this from happening? After all, the way they've made it look, it would be almost ridiculously easy to convict these people in a court of law. I'd like to see if the question has ever been posed to one of the administration.

had enough and know a fascist when they see one.

the right wingers think * is war criminal. Very special thread to me.

I have wonderful memories from my time in Vienna.

I heard Claudio Abado conduct the Vienna Philharmonic
in a mostly Beethoven program right here, front row,
just to the right. And the did the Radetzky March as
an encore. Sublime...



On edit: Maurizio Pollini played the Emperor Concerto...
amazing...
