Minneapolis in September, perhaps?

SEOUL, South Korea - Police fired water cannons at thousands of protesters Tuesday as President Bush got a volatile reception in South Korea at the start of his three-nation Asian trip.

Some 18,300 police were on high alert with riot gear and bomb-sniffing dogs to maintain order during Bush’s brief visit, the National Police Agency said.
…
As evening approached, an estimated 20,000 anti-Bush protesters gathered nearby. Police turned water cannons on them as they tried to move onto the main central downtown boulevard, telling the crowd that the liquid contained markers to tag them so they could be identified later.

Our allies are so awesome. They torture our prisoners for us and model the latest in crowd control/surveillance techniques.

Bonus Bush stupidity:

“Iraq has changed — a lot — thanks to the bravery of people in this hangar and the bravery of troops all across our country. The terrorists (are) on the run. The terrorists will be denied a safe haven, and freedom is on the march. And as a result, our children are more likely to grow up in a peaceful world.”

For the millionth time, you hairless son of a bald monkey: Al Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until you opened the door for them; “freedom” is just another word for 1 million civilian dead (and counting); and our children will only be more likely to grow up in a peaceful world once you and your criminal cohort are out of Washington and out of power, forever.

But enjoy your valedictory tour, Dummy - especially since the repression and surveillance activities of the regimes you are visiting have gained so much legitimacy during your tenure.

Asshole.
