'Enormous security' planned for Bush visit

<snip>CANDIOTTI: Diana, given the unpopularity of the war in Iraq there in Great Britain, as you talk to people, is there more a feeling of anti-Americanism because of it, or is it more anti-Bush?

MURIEL: Well, it seems that it is more anti-Bush. But there has been a growing sense -- and this is something that's been talked about in the British press, papers, and on television and radio, about a growing sense of anti-Americanism. That the longer this continues, the more these policies are pursued in places like Iraq, the more Americans themselves become identified with the president's policies, rather than being separated from them.

I've been speaking to various expatriates here in London. There are about 200,000 expatriate Americans living in the U.K. They say they've noticed a significant shift since the war in Iraq. They sense they have to defend themselves as much as their country, and, indeed, their president when they discuss politics with ordinary Britons. This hasn't spilled over into any overt hostility. They're not being yelled at in the street ... But they are seeing more anti-American graffiti in and around the capital and other cities ... and they think that will only get worse when the president himself arrives here next Tuesday night.

1. The PNACers will never let Junior know how much he is hated by the world

Why was he conveniently at Camp David or the pig ranch every time there was a rally in DC? They're telling the stupid shit that the people support him, and as dumb as Dipshit is (and by his own admission ignorant of the media), he probably buys it.

2. Do you really think he would care?

I sense that this man doesn't give too much thought to such things. I wish someone would compare modern presidents' visits to England with this one.

8. Is it just me or are some reporters trying to shift the focus away from

Bush to more amorphous "American People" terminology.
They write that the feelings of the people in the UK are predominatly anti-Bush but are careful to add a great deal of information about the anti-American sentiment to dilute the issue.

11. Its not just you. I seen this interview

The women giving the British side cringed when the CNN lady asked her about the anti-Bush stuff. She was very defensive and acted like she wished that she was not asked that question.
