"Bush will attend Games opening" by Ben Feller, Associated Press | July 4, 2008
WASHINGTON - President Bush will attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing, the White House said yesterday, quashing any talk of a presidential boycott over China's violent crackdown on Buddhist monks.
The White House had been reluctant to confirm Bush's plans for the opening event, although there was no doubt he would attend the Olympic Games. While other world leaders have talked of boycotting the Aug. 8 opening ceremonies, Bush's aides have signaled for weeks he was unlikely to do so.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush will travel in August to South Korea, Thailand, and China and will attend the opening ceremonies of the games with his wife, Laura. The specific dates of travel were not released.
Bush's trip is built around the Olympics, which the White House long has said he plans to attend as a celebration of sports."Yup!
And when it comes to sports, all that 'human rights" crap goes out the window, huh?
U.S. shouldn't even be MOUTHING the words "human rights."
After all, WEEZ TORTURE in SECRET PRISONS!!!!
We even use CHINESE METHODS!!!
