Hey the UK is going to be blessed by the first official visit by a serving US president in over 50 years and Blair states he is expecting major demonstrations during the visit (wonderful skill in stating the obvious politicians have).
Now I have no problem with George W I hold him in the same contempt I have for all politicians but does he really need all the staff.
250 secret service agents
200 various US dept representatives
150 National security advisers
50 White House aides
15 sniffer dogs plus handlers
5 Cooks
1 Permanent personal chef

Thats nearly 700 staff for one man!

This is for 3 days Whats it costing you guys in tax dollars.

Must be some tour rider..
