Little joy for Bush at meet with EU officials
SURFACE UNITY: The US president was given no big favors on Iraq at the meeting with European officials, even if the words of the Irish prime minister were soothing

AP AND REUTERS , BAGHDAD AND NEWMARKET-ON-FERGUS, IRELAND
Sunday, Jun 27, 2004,Page 1

US President George W. Bush tried to forge unity over Iraq yesterday in a lightning summit with European leaders who backed the training of Iraqi troops but offered little further concrete support.

Fenced off from his detractors by 2,000 soldiers and 4,000 police, Bush holed up in a western Irish castle with EU leaders ahead of a NATO summit in Turkey this week.

1. Ireland gives Bush rough treatment
THE GUARDIAN , LONDON

Pretzels were off the menu at US President George W. Bush's working lunch with European statesmen in Ireland yesterday afternoon.

Only the finest Irish food was to grace the table at the renaissance castle in County Clare, in the west of the country, as the conversation turned to Iraq and famine in Sudan. French fries were unlikely to be served and there would be nothing the US president might have trouble pronouncing.

What Bush was probably choking on was the gristle of the Irish media.

3. 2,000 soldiers and 4,000 police
What do you call a guy who needs 6,000 people to protect him from the public?

A pussy.

7. My local paper called this a "Big Win for Bush"
They make it sound like the EU has pledged
troops and money, which is totally untrue.
Offering to train Iraqis (who will certainly end up
killing US soldiers) is a far cry from supporting Bush
or his policies.

9. It's the same as the entire aWol Adm/Colluding Whore Press. Psychological
propaganda which shows 90% of the target only remember the first story published. Why hasn't a moral American group sued the Media?
