There are concerns running about that the Unites States is moving to build military bases in Africa. President Bush tried suppressing those claims by calling it “baloney.”

A Tanzanian newspaper had a headline declaring that Bush came to “militarize” Africa.

“The purpose of this (visit) is not to add military bases,” Bush said in a press conference. “I know there’s rumors in Ghana: ‘All Bush is coming to do is try to convince you to put a big military base here.’ That’s baloney. Or as we say in Texas, that’s bull.”
