CNN reported Thursday that the Secret Service expects President Bush to be "a high value terrorist target after he leaves office." They then showed the Secret Service practicing to deal with everything from James Bond-style stealth weapons to roadside IED's in order to meet that challenge.

Retired agent Terry Samway told CNN, "We have the mandate to make sure that whatever they did during their presidency, they are still safe from any of those lingering issues after their presidency."

Even before 9/11, the cost of protection for former presidents was estimated as $24 million a year, and Bush will be guarded by an unprecedented 103 full-time agents starting in January 2009. However, a 1997 law limits the duration of Secret Service protection for former presidents to just 10 years.

"But before they can protect a president or former president," concluded CNN, "the new recruits are drilled in the basics, including target practice at 100 yards and then a sprint to load and fire again -- this time much more up close and personal."

:boring:

Remind the ANTI-TAX citizen lot,...OF THAT!!!!

THEY PAY TO PROTECT A FORMER MOST-HATED PRESIDENT,...UNTIL THE DAY HE DIES.

It's just a damned shame that the ghosts are more likely to extract retribution from Bush before either the Hague or our own justice system will.

Bush will be in NO danger from terrorists.He is in more danger from his fellow citizens for the damge his has done to our country.

:shrug:

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS

The 2008 campaign will require more Secret Service resources than expected, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. The article also brings up some interesting highlights on Secret Service coverage for the Bush administration:

he Bush administration has doubled the number of officials granted Secret Service protection, from 26 to 54, including top White House aides such as the chief of staff and national and homeland security advisers.

Guess the paranoia is justified considering their abysmal approval ratings. We always thought it was just a coincidence that Cheney never leaves his undisclosed location during full moons.

:evilgrin:

It would be fiscally irresponsible not to concentrate there traitors where they can be efficiently protected.

trillion dollar debt, tax cuts for the wealthy....

Sure, I'm concerned. Hurts me inside. Yawn.

:applause:

And take their statements separately.

never let him leave the bunker.

Make sure the bunker is made of styrofoam.

Problem solved...wasn't that easy!:patriot: :rofl: :thumbsup: :kick:

might need to make sure they are safe by, you know, hooking them up to electrodes so nobody will touch them, and maybe make sure nobody puts anthrax powder in their clothes, so keep them naked, and, you know, have some dogs to "protect" them...

keep them really, really safe. Wouldn't want them poisoned, so they probably shouldn't have food or water

by the day... will we see his meltdown before Jan. '09?

Who's ready to party like it's 2019?!?!?!? :party:

Also...


Note that, once again, disgruntled Americans are being called "terrorists".

No more, no less.

Bill fought international terrorism better and more effectively than Shrub ever did.

targets.

Who do they think they are shiting with that statement?

we must live with the choices we make. I hope he worries the rest of his miserable life about the choices he's made. It's too bad it's going to cost us a Pharaoh's ransom to keep him from the enemies he's made in six short years.

Need the law change to put that into effect. And the definition of moving to another country needs to be exact enough to avoid any loopholes.

And the best way to protect the rest of the planet from his terrorism. High walls and lots of guards looking from those walls down on little *.

always wondering, "Will today be the day"? He will live his life in subtle fear, which may be worse than overt fear.

Big Lead Box, 6 by 6 by 6 with a snorkel tube to the surface, with another tube to pump that gunk down to him that they fed RoboCop..

Maybe give him a piece of string to play with so he doesn't get bored, unless he wants to play with the shit in his 7 day DEPENDS he exchanges... :)

To be honest he REALLY SHOULD be RESTRICTED to grounds and not allowed to travel, it's too much of a burden on taxpayers, where does he need to go anyway? He'd be just as happy with a bag of cheetos, a bottle of Jack, and a big screen tv..

Asshole, our precious MIND TRUST..

Cry me a river!

n/t

him.

But "high value"? Nope, he's worthless, in every way. MKJ

A bratty child is kidnapped and this is his father's response to the kidnappers' ransom note:



And the kidnappers' reaction to the father's note:



Accepting payment to take Bush back would be one way to pay off the national debt.

who were kidnapped in Iraq "We don't make deals with terrorists" I heard that many times when the kidnapping began...

much cheaper? :mad: :banghead: :nuke:

when he's retired?! It figures. There's never a terrorist around when you need one!

This is a sticky topic ...

Oh ....

Hi, Agent Mike. :hi: (I think)

have to pay for it anymore

Secret Service protection for only 10 years?

I would have thought this was one of his concerns? To save his own ass for years of incompetence & arrogance.

I guess not, Republicans are not that forward thinking.

I wonder if Robert Duvall could convince AWOL Monkey-Boy

to do the right thing for the sake of the country?


Hey, just a thought.
