Police nab activists seeking Bush's nuke suitcase
Sun May 8, 2005 6:14 AM ET
MAASTRICHT, Netherlands (Reuters) - Dutch police arrested six activists on Sunday who said they wanted to enter President Bush's Netherlands hotel and look for the suitcase which allows him to activate nuclear weapons.
"We heard Bush carries a nuclear suitcase and can push the red button at any time to set off atomic weapons. We find this extremely shocking," said Leo de Groot, a spokesman for the activist group.
The activists, carrying binoculars and wearing signs that identified them as "citizen's inspectors," mimicking the International Atomic Energy Agency's weapons inspectors, were caught by Dutch soldiers as they approached Bush's hotel.
In a separate incident, an amateur photographer seriously hurt himself on Saturday by falling onto a spiked fence as he tried to photograph the tight security arrangements around the hotel, police said.
Hundreds of Dutch protesters rallied on Saturday in Amsterdam and Maastricht to protest against Bush who visited a U.S. military cemetery in the southern Netherlands on Sunday to pay tribute to the Americans who died in World War II.
Yeah they just leave that stuff laying around in empty hotel rooms.
Something about the wooden shoes makes you stupid.
I find it shocking that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton had access to it. I wonder if Bill forwarded the codes to China.
Was this after they left the " coffeeshop" ?
What morons!
The President doesn't carry the 'briefcase' (not suitcase) with the Launch Codes! It's carried by a specially assigned person who travels with the President, and that person isn't generally known to the public.
These people are delusional dopes.
Shameless idiot euros. Sounds like our demorats.
Where is the news?
That would be Margraten, a beautiful and serene spot of earth in the gently rolling hills of Limburg Province. Maastricht is a magnificent provincial town on the River Maas (Maastricht is a contraction/corruption of the Latin Maas Trajectum meaning "bridge over the Maas"), one of my favorite haunts when I lived near there.
"Hundreds" of Dutch protesters means a failed demonstration in that densely populated country. There are almost that many middle-aged Dutchmen in single extended pod of recreational cyclists coursing the Dutch byways on any given Sunday.
Major OUCH.
Did they leave him there as a warning to others?
Dutch faggots, high on dope - not a very smart combination. No wonder the Mohammedans are overruning their country.
Though Clinton did have a habit of driving off without him.
That's almost as stupid as the adopted-at-birth kids who support the right to abortion.
I saw a Dracula movie that ended that way
I just get so po'd with this European anti-America crap.
I believe it's called the "football", so what we have here is a bunch of unruly Dutch football hooligans.
On second thought, that isn't fair -- no matter how drunk and unruly a Dutch Football hooligan gets, they aren't as stupid as these idiots.
Do they actually think the football has a red button that directly launches ICBM's?
Do they know that if the President's football was compromised or taken by these morons that authority to launch would pass to the Veep? They should be even more terrified of D.C. then they are of W. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
There may be a good reasons after all these years others have not gone after this briefcase (or maybe they did, and we just did not hear about it).
I hope all of these peace loving Dutch learn to love being ruled by the Muslims, since if you are not willing to fight and die for your beliefs, you will become a slave to those that are.
