WASHINGTON (Map, News) - President George W. Bush lauded Queen Elizabeth II and her country as allies in the fight against terrorism, but also committed a verbal gaffe that implied that the monarch was much older than her 81 years during a ceremony on the White House's south lawn. After pointing out Queen Elizabeth II had dined with 10 U.S. presidents, Bush said she helped America celebrate its 200th birthday in "177 ... 1976," which drew laughter from the crowd of 7,000 invited guests. The queen apparently was not among those who were amused. "She shot me a look only a mother could give a child," Bush said, after glancing at the monarch. The arrival ceremony, one of the few formal events Bush has held for a foreign dignitary, featured a 21-gun salute and a performance by a fife and drum corps complete with the style of powdered wigs and lobster-red coats that British soldiers wore in the Revolution. "Today our two nations are defending liberty against tyranny and terror," Bush told the crowd. "We're resisting those who murder the innocent to advance a hateful ideology, whether they kill in New York or London or Kabul or Baghdad." The queen, wearing pearls and a white hat with an overlay of black lace that matched the trim on her white button-down blazer, arrived at the White House with Prince Philip in a motorcade after spending Sunday night at the nearby Blair House. President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, who was wearing a pale gray suit with matching shoes, greeted the royal couple shortly before 11 a.m. Just as she has in all her public appearances since arriving in the United States last week, the queen paid tribute to this year's 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent British settlement in North American. "My two days in Virginia gave me a new insight into those events which helped to shape this country's development and to lay the foundations of this great nation based on shared principles of equality, democracy and the rule of the law," said the queen, who will tour a NASA facility in Greenbelt and the National Children's Medical Research Center in D.C. on Tuesday. Reminders of the history between the two countries, especially the Revolutionary War that severed the colonies from British control, were plainly visible from the White House's South Lawn As the queen and President Bush delivered their speeches, the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial stood out beyond the crowd, against a bright blue sky. Visiting the White House and honoring Jamestown, the queen said, offers an opportunity to "celebrate the close and enduring associations which thrive between the United States and the United Kingdom at every level: be it government or corporate, institutional or personal."
Poster Comment: "...featured a 21-gun salute and a performance by a fife and drum corps complete with the style of powdered wigs and lobster-red coats that British soldiers wore in the Revolution." You'd think that a Washington, DC-based online media source would know that His Excellency Gen. George Washington authorized the Continental Army band to wear red coats so they could be seen and distinguished on the battlefield. They were the only Americans who were authorized to wear red. They weren't re-enacting a British fife & drum corps, but an American one. *Good grief*

The United States is still a British Colony: Index THE UNITED STATES IS STILL A BRITISH COLONY. EXTORTING TAXES FOR THE CROWN! A DOCUMENTARY REVIEW OF CHARTERS AND TREATIES. August 17, 1996. An Expose' ... http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/united_states_british_colony_index.htm "..... "The confession of General Cornwallis to General Washington at Yorktown has been well hidden by historians. History books and text books have taught for years that when Cornwallis surrendered his army to General Washington that American independence came, and we lived happily ever after until the tribulations of the twentieth century." "Jonathan Williams recorded in his LEGIONS OF SATAN, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington that "a holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown." Cornwallis went on to explain what would seem to be a self contradiction: "Your churches will be used to teach the Jew's religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry." And indeed George Washington himself was a Mason, and he gave back through a false religion what he had won with his army. "Cornwallis well knew that his military defeat was only the beginning of world catastrophe that would be universal and that unrest would continue until mind control could be accomplished through a false religion. What he predicted has come to pass. A brief sketch of American religious history and we have seen Masonry infused into every church in America With their veiled Phallic religion. "Darby and the Plymouth Brethren brought a Jewish Christianity to America. Masons Rutherford and Russell started Jehovah Witnesses' Judaism which is now worldwide with their message of the divine kingdom. Mason Joseph Smith started Mormon Judaism with its Jewish teaching of millennialism. "At the turn of the twentieth century there appeared the Scofield Bible with a Jewish interpretation of the prophecies. With wide use of this "helpful" aid all the American churches have silently become synagogues. We now have Baptist Jews, Methodist Jews, Church of God Jews, apostate Catholic Jews, and many Protestant Jews throughout America. We are aliens in our own country because of false religion. All are praying for divine deliverance into that "Divine Government" which Cornwallis knew to be the British Empire. "A false religion has been used to deceive us into allegiance to our enemies of Yorktown and Bunker Hill. No! Not a gun has been fired but the invisible and malignant process of conquering America with the Jew's religion has gone on unabated. The Union Jack has been planted in our hearts with religious deception. All has happened "legally," "constitutionally," "freely" and completely within our most sacred trust -- our churches. ..........." THE GREATEST HOAX - THE UNION JACK - EPILOGUE http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/hoax/unionjack_epilogue.htm I thought maybe she was coming to declare a Jubilee......it's way past due.... Lev 25:10 — And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Looks like bubble Laura is trying to bring bustles back.
