- No welcome mat for W at EU Summit

New York Daily News - World & National Report - No welcome mat for W:

"With thousands of anti-American protesters crowding Vienna's streets, an irked President Bush snapped yesterday at a suggestion U.S. foreign policy has become a threat to global security.

'That's absurd,' Bush barked at an Austrian reporter during a press conference with European Union President and Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel.

'We'll defend ourselves, but at the same time, we're actively working with our partners to spread peace and democracy.... It's an absurd statement.'

Europe's anti-Americanism flooded Vienna, where more than 3,000 Austrian police expected about 10,000 protesters at multiple demonstrations coinciding with the U.S.-EU
summit." (Only 10,000?)
