Here's the program for the May 7-8 visit:

Bush will arrive at the Maastricht Aachen Airport on Saturday night and travel by car to Château St Gerlach in Houthem, where he will stay overnight.

Throughout the visit, two motorways and several roads will be closed to traffic while Bush's entourage is making its way between various destinations.

On Sunday morning Bush will have breakfast with Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and later travel to the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten near Maastricht.

Queen Beatrix will welcome the US leader to the cemetery, where a commemorative ceremony will be held for Victory in Europe Day.
Thousands of visitors are expected at the cemetery, where they will be inspected for weapons, explosives and ammunition.

Upon completion of the commemorative ceremony, the president will drive back to the Maastricht airport and depart from the Netherlands.

The event will be covered here, of course, and I will look especially at how Dutch and other European media are commenting on the event. And, you can bet that the visit will bring out some unique and creative anti-Americanism, again I plan to share it here on Peaktalk this weekend.
