Bush to Attend Iraqi Soccer Game at Olympics?

That's Drudge's story and he's sticking to it:

PRESIDENT BUSH PLANS TRIP TO OLYMPICS, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE. MAY ATTEND IRAQI SOCCER GAME. 'TRIP BEING PLANNED IN SECRET'... SECURITY CONCERNS AND 'DISRUPTION' OF GAMES AT ISSUE... 'THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT GO, IF IT BECOMES TOO MUCH OF A DISTRACTION,' TOP SOURCE REVEALED LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON... TOP BUSH SOURCE CAUTIONS PLANNING FOR TRIP IS BEING RESEARCHED AND IS IN PRELIMINARY STAGE. TRIP WOULD BE FOR FINALS AUG 28 [SATURDAY]... DEVELOPING...
I question the timing of this trip...and of Drudge's report...and of the Iraqi win....and of the Olympics!!!

PS-The all caps thing IS annoying.

1 I know that President Bush has made surprised visits to just about anyplace but he sent his father, the former President George Bush as a goodwill minister group. President Bush didn't even make it to any of his daughter's graduation because the security would be so tight and he did not want to ruin the celebration for the rest of the graduates. Although he likes to surpise people, I don't think it will happen, especially now that it's on the blogs. Sometimes it's allright to keep information to yourself. You let out that kind of info and you've made it impossibe for him to make that trip, so I can't see it happening. Just my opinion. ~C

2 Drudge is occasionally useful a source of tips to check against more trustworthy sources, but this time he's screwed up royally. If Air Force One takes a SAM on the way into Athens, I trust he'll be proud of his "scoop."

3 As of Today, August 23, 2004, even President Bush said to a question from the news journalists who follow him everywhere, that he is NOT going to Athens, Greece for the Olympics. First of all, he does not want to make it any more dangerous than it already is and secondly, he sent his father as the goodwill ambassador. Why anyone would rumor that Bush was going to Athens, certainly isn't paying much attention to what's really going on. Dah... ~C
