Sorry, but another observation re: the Cessna
Edited on Thu May-12-05 09:52 AM by Atman
I'm just not believing any of this. Ironically, part of my disbelief stems from the fact that the Corporate News is still running with it, a sure sign they're on-script from Rove, awaiting their next orders.

Anyway, last night on the talking heads shows, I heard several people say the reason this was a big deal, despite the fact that the plane weighed only 1700 lbs. fully fueled and wasn't flying fast enough to do much more than put cracks in the fortified concrete of the WH, was that it COULD HAVE been carrying anthrax or radioactive material to drop on us.

So why the bloody hell would you send lawmakers OUTSIDE onto the lawn with NO PROTECTION if you were worried that someone might drop dust on them? Wouldn't they have been safer INSIDE, with a quick phone call to facilities maintenance to shut down the air conditioning?

AND...did anyone actually SEE Cheney through the thick black glass of the limo? Might even THIS dramatic display have been bittersweet candy for the masses? While not one, but TWO First Ladies were allowed to stay behind?

Nothing about this story makes any sense. Unless you factor in the UK memo finally hitting the US media.

3. Not telling Bush is equal to letting him sit in a classroom. Strange.
Very strange. I say it was a very minor incident that was blown into a propaganda opportunity - given the dishonesty of the players involved.

Sending all those people into the streets in view of their millions of words on biological threats.

JUST WHAT WAS RED FOR?

They all better go back the the drawing board.

This is what happens when you CANNOT trust your leaders.

LIARS THIEVES DECEIVERS DESTROYERS MANIPULATORS CONTROLLERS WAR-MONGERS. WHO THINK THEY NEED TO BE IN YOUR WOMB BRAIN MOUTH SOUL.
