I find it shocking that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton had access to it. I wonder if Bill forwarded the codes to China.

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.

Terrorists at Reuters ALWAYS call 'terrorists' activists.

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. 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.

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.Major OUCH.

Dutch faggots, high on dope - not a very smart combination. No wonder the Mohammedans are overruning their country.

This story will receive many bouncing happy smiley's over at DU. Though many will lament that these stupid "activists" didn't succeed.

carried by a specially assigned person who travels with the President, 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.

These people are delusional dopes.Too freekin a shame we ever put forces on their lousy continent over the last 100 years. The Britain and Oz are our only loyal allies. In retrospect, I'd have let the Germans eat Europe's lunch. /rant
I just get so po'd with this European anti-America crap.

The President doesn't carry the 'briefcase' (not suitcase) with the Launch Codes! 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!!!

I know no more about the "football" or the man that carries it, then most on this forum, but isn't it likely he is armed? Further, isn't it likely that he has authority to use deadly force to protect the "football"?
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.
