Screw the 'tour' - Let's invade!

When US President Barack Obama arrives in London on Tuesday for the G20 summit, he will bring a large contingent of the White House staff with him. Hundreds of security guards, doctors, chefs and others will accompany President Obama on his visit, and the entourage will include a number of presidential vehicles - including his new armour-plated limousine, The Beast, and aeroplane, Air Force One.
The 4,000 sq ft Boeing 747 is fully equipped for the president to work while he is in the air. The exercise-loving president will even be able to use the onboard gym to keep fit inflight. The plane is fitted with some robust security equipment including shields to protect its instruments from an electromagnetic pulse. The communications equipment is even capable of withstanding radiation from a nuclear attack.
Once he lands at Stansted Airport in Essex, Mr Obama will be ferried into the heart of London on Marine One, his personal VH-3D helicopter. Marine One is capable of firing flares to divert heat-seeking missiles - and always flies as part of a convoy of identical decoy aircraft. His helicopter peels away at the last minute only when the convoy has reached its destination.

On the ground, the president rides around in The Beast, a brand new presidential limo finished earlier this year at a cost of $300,000. It comes with a tear gas cannon, a night-vision camera and oxygen tanks. Its reinforced steel plating is said to be able to protect against bullets, chemical attack, and even a missile strike. And it will not be hard to spot on the streets - it will be accompanied at all times by a motorcade consisting of dozens of support cars, police cars and emergency medical vehicles. Link
I've mellowed when it comes to the French since Nicolas Sarkozy was elected, so don't take the above image too seriously - I just felt like bombing Paris :) Seriously, Obama is taking all this crap to Europe - 500+ support staff, all kinds of communications equipment, armored vehilces and lots of weapons - it occurred to me that we could kill two birds with one stone. He should declare war on Europe somewhere over the Canary Islands and they'd have surrendered by the time he touches down in Britain. Not sure just what good that would do, I mean all we need is another 100 million welfare recipients, right? I know! We could sell 'Pillage the Village & Rape the Women' tours to people as way to 'express their inner angst' over the whole economic situation.
Easter is nigh! Time to retract YOUR LIES and apologize sincerely and contritely for every SLANDER you've made.
