Dear God, what's happened to Dubya? - Americans are getting personal in the debate over Bush's daughters
Charles Laurence
The First Post 23 Nov 06 George Bush might be forgiven for wondering whether even you-know-who, the Big Guy, who he believes ordained his job, has turned against him. There are, as the President's more religious Republican friends like to say, 'signs'.
Everything has gone wrong since the mid-terms. What could it mean that no less than three motorcycle outriders escorting him to the Hickman Air Force Base in Honolulu fall on slick tarmac in the early morning rain? The tumbles left all three in hospital. And it's getting personal. Barbara, one of Bush's twin 22-year-old daughters, is recovering from a nasty experience in Buenos Aires where thieves snatched her handbag and mobile phone while she was enjoying dinner in the fashionable San Telmo district. Her Secret Service minder didn't even notice the theft. |

By Thom Patterson CNN (CNN) -- Although Congress is unlikely to follow calls from a top Democrat to bring back the military draft, the United States does have a plan, if necessary, aimed at inducting millions of young men for service.
The Selective Service System, an agency independent of the Defense Department, says it's ready to respond quickly to any crisis that would threaten to overwhelm the current all-volunteer military. "We're the fire department," said spokesman Pat Schuback at the service headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. |

Published: 23 November 2006 His foreign policy is in tatters. He has just suffered a sweeping electoral defeat. And now - from Buenos Aires to Hawaii and Vietnam - even the clockwork-like operation to protect and ferry around George Bush and the rest of America's first family seems to be coming apart at the seams.
Comment: Is someone trying to send Bush a message that they can get to him when and where they want?
