Bush bubble meets Netherlands youth

Bush Gets Tough Queries From Youths in Holland

MAASTRICHT, Netherlands — At home, President Bush regularly travels the nation for "conversations" with hand-picked audiences who routinely shower him and his policies with praise. But abroad on Sunday, some youths in Holland had a rare, unscripted opportunity to ask questions that some Americans might want to pose if given the chance.

Based on the questions asked in the first half-hour, before reporters were ushered from the room, this group of students might not have passed muster at a typical White House event.

According to the story, it was in response to a question about the cost of the Iraq war that he had the press chased from the room.
