Bush is reaching India on March 1st, I was reading in newspapers today that he says its now time for his role in Kashmir Issue, but do we want another IRAQ story here ?? Kashmir even does'nt have anything like oil that could be of his inetrest. And i was also wondering, what would this visit of Bush cost in total. I canot even come close to a ballpark figure here. When White House touches down President George W Bush and wife Laura land in New Delhi in the evening of March 1 but the White House has already begun to move: • Choppers for emergencies to snipers along the route, there will be over 400 security personnel, including NSG commandoes, deployed for the visit • US Secret Service will be here in large numbers, close to 250, with approximately 500 weapons for all locations, including long-range rifles with a rider: no overt public display. • Bush will have a motorcade of 40 cars with special limousines being transported from the US. • 4 planes have already arrived, at least 5 more are expected along with Air Force One. • He will use a chopper in Hyderabad. 2 aircraft will be on stand by at Mumbai. • An aerial reconnaissance with an IAF aircraft will take place just before his arrival. • Hotel Maurya's grand suite where predecessor Bill Clinton also stayed. • A situation room will be set up in the hotel—more than 100 phone lines have been secured—where Bush will head first on arrival to get a briefing. • His technical stopover on the way will be at Shannon in Ireland. • 6 CEOs will accompany him with Bill Harrison of J P Morgan Chase leading the team. • No specific threat yet. There is a fear of terror strikes just before the visit.
Hmm.. I don't think that Bush has anything against how you handle the Kashmir issue but Condolessa might try to force you to follow the UN propotion, just because she got sexual problems
I personally think Condoleeza isn't that bad looking for an older woman..............As much as I hate her stupid policies, she looks attractive in those expensive business suits she wears.
ya... well i stay in india... and i know wht is means when bush comes to india... i means top level security... read in a news.. tht he is acompanyed by around 300 officers.. and even the airport where his plane is going to land will not have traffic for 1 hr.. and yes he's coming to india post budget, so india might make some good news for bush .. .
hey I am in hyderabad, and he came to ISB for few hours and we were asked to close the windows..I remember the choppers
Bush almost died when he was in Georgia. That handgrenade could explode. So yes, the security needs to be AHAP.
