I KNEW IT!!!
I said this yesterday in Terra Alutz
They played out their welcome with the color coded terra alurtz. When I first saw this nonsense about the plane and how they made people run about like chickens with their head cut off I knew something was amiss.
It reminded me of kids pulling the fire alarm to get out of taking an exam
A wayward plane from Lancaster County sparked a brief panic in the nation’s capital Wednesday afternoon when it crossed into restricted airspace near the White House.
The pilot, Hayden “Jim” Sheaffer Jr., 69, of Lititz, and his passenger, Troy D. Martin, 36, of Akron, were taken into federal custody and questioned for several hours before being released.
No charges were filed against the two men after Secret Service agents determined they simply got lost on their way to an air show in North Carolina.
…
Sheaffer was not required to file a flight plan before departing, according to the airport owner.
…
Youmans said Sheaffer is a Republican and campaigned for President Bush.
“He’s a big President Bush supporter,” Youmans said. “He’s a good person that made a terrible error.”
This is beginning to sound like the BOY WHO CRIED WOLF
The day that there really is an attack no one is going to believe them.
What about all the press they left behind in the basement? If it’d been the real thing, good lord.
And how come Bush wasn’t informed ?! My daughter kept asking me last night, “You mean they just let him go on his bike ride? Is that all he does all the time?”
I just saw this in the Seattle paper:
Two lost aviators flying with outdated maps from a rural Pennsylvania airstrip yesterday triggered a red alert and the frantic evacuation…
so that’s what happened
I too used to think it was solely about cynically stoking, amplifying and manipulating general panic.
While I still believe that they are intentionally doing that, I’m now starting to suspect that they are also the most cravenly pusillanimous bunch of posturing cowards ever to come to power in US history. Any moron capable of reining in his flight-or-fight reflex for half a second would realize that an approaching Cessna – the slowest and most antiquated conventional aircraft currently in regular use – is most likely just lost.
But then, these are the same chicken*ts who made the Germans weld the manhole covers in Mainz shut when Shrubya came to visit last winter.
Oh. Sorry. </rant>
