B*S* Tells Troops 'Much More Will Be Asked Of You'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush told U.S. troops on Tuesday that "much more will be asked of you" in Iraq and elsewhere as three days of ceremonies marking his inauguration got off to a somber beginning.

Bush is to be sworn in for a second four-year term at midday on Thursday on Capitol Hill and thousands of Republicans were flocking to Washington for the celebrations under extremely heavy security.

Police scrambled to handle an emergency a block away from the White House and near the planned route for the inaugural parade. Police surrounded a man in a van who claimed to have 15 gallons of gasoline and threatened to blow it up if he did not get his child back, the FBI said.

"It's domestic, not terrorism," said an FBI spokeswoman.

3. It's not like he needs to pretend he cares - no more elections, remember?
