They're Shocked? I'm Shocked!
As the President wraps up his trip to Europe, we get this little gem from the Netherlands.
Here's a clue, Sparky. The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces. With that job comes the responsibility for a HUGE arsenal, including just a few nuclear weapons. It would be illogical to presume that he could not control them from just about anywhere on the planet.
And... umm... just one more thing... I kinda doubt that, when you open the football, you find this panel with one giant red button that is labeled "Launch the nuclear weapons". THAT would be shocking...
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.This is shocking to them? I thought pretty much everyone knew about "the football." This season of 24 talked about it quite a bit. Or is it shocking because W. has control of a huge nuclear arsenal?"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.
