"Isn't he already the "fall guy"?" That was the idea, but a lot of people aren't buying it. So this is just the next step to put the ball in his court.

ABB Bush Visit Spurs Protests in Argentina, Brazil Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- More than 10,000 protestors, including Bolivia's leading presidential candidate Evo Morales, gathered in Argentina's resort town of Mar del Plata to oppose U.S. President George W. Bush and his efforts to create a free trade zone for the Americas. About 150 buses arrived from Buenos Aires alone this morning with protestors, according to Argentine police who estimated the crowd at between 10,000 and 15,000. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who today said the proposed trade pact is ``dead,'' is scheduled to speak during the protest later today. ``We are totally unsatisfied with the capitalist system,'' said Dorinda Sese, 64, a school teacher who took a five-hour train ride from Buenos Aires to join the protest with a banner taped to her back, ``No to Bush.'' ``I'm against free trade because our raw materials go cheaply abroad and we're forced to buy back manufactured goods at extravagant prices,'' she said. Anti-Bush demonstrations also began in Brazil. In the capital, Brasilia, where Bush will arrive tomorrow night for a meeting with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, about 1,500 people marched from the cathedral to behind the U.S. embassy to protest the proposed U.S.-sponsored Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. Bush Effigy Singing Brazil's national anthem, they burnt an effigy of Bush, decorated with a moustache to look like Adolf Hitler, and a swastika on his arm and waved banners: ``Death to the Warlords'' and ``Bush, Fascist, You are a Terrorist.'' ``These demonstrations will help push Latin American governments to be more independent in trade negotiations such as'' talks for an Americas free trade pact, said Gustavo Petta, head of the Brazilian students union, which helped organize the protests. Petta wore a red T-shirt with the image of Che Guevara, the Argentine guerrilla fighter who helped Fidel Castro rise to power in Cuba. Security at the 34-nation Summit of the Americas in Mar del Plata is tight. Signs declaring ``Bush Out'' and ``Stop Bush'' were stuck to fences on the outskirts of the resort city. Military boats guarded the beachfront as helicopters patrolled the skies over Bush's hotel in the event of trouble from protesters. The demonstrators gathered in an open air stadium, where a white banner of Guevara hung behind a red and black stage. quote.bloomberg.com
