Three images (actual ones) from the DC Cessna scare today
Edited on Wed May-11-05 03:01 PM by underpants
ON EDIT-I don't know how to post Yahoo news photos anymore. Sorry for just posting the links.

In this image made from video, a two-seater Cessna 150, right, is escorted by a fighter jet in the skies over the White House in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, May 11, 2005. The U.S. Capitol and White House were evacuated Wednesday after a small plane entered restricted airspace and came within three miles of the executive mansion. Military jets scrambled to intercept the aircraft and fired warning flares. (AP Photo/APTN, Rick Gentilo)

U.S. President George W. Bush (3rd R with towel) returns to the White House in Washington, May 11, 2005. Bush was bicycling at a Maryland wildlife research center when a small single engine aircraft entered restricted airspace over Washington, forcing evacuations at the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

7. It's unbelievable.
And he thinks he has the right to tell people who are counting on Social Security in retirement what to do. Guy has never done one day's honest work, and he insults us all by having fun on his bike in the FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE WORK WEEK, when all the real workers are -- you guessed it -- WORKING!!!

Sure doesn't seem like presidentin' is "hard work."

11. Cheney was in the WH being President.
The fool they need only for photo ops and fundraisers was having his playtime before his nap.

15. Hey, I cycled yesterday...
Edited on Wed May-11-05 03:25 PM by BiggJawn
But was after we knocked-off for the day, I did only 16 miles and it was the end of twilight when I got home and almost got run over by that mouthy B***** who ran the stop sign because she wanted to get some smokes before "Her Show" done come on...

(how did I know that? becasue she told me so, in between "you awtta be on the fucking sidewalk, asshole!"'s)

But then again, I wasn't getting chaufferred back and forth on the Public Dime, either....

18. Yeah what is with that...
I was reading about the crash of Payne Stewart's plane today... it took the airforce just 20 minutes to find his plane after they lost contact with the pilot... 20 MINUTES!!! This was in 1999... yet on 9/11, they can't get the job done in 90 minutes...

An time after time we're just supposed to believe our military is completely incompetent.

10. So, that's pretty cool that . . .
. . . our military was able to scramble fighter jets while the perp was still in restricted airspace. That must have been some pretty quick scrambling. Impressive! I know we used to be able to do that before 9/11. I'm happy to see that our military is once again able to provide their 'quick scramble' service to our country. :thumbsup:

12. Funny that. Good to see they worked out the problems with that
scrambling system that was apparently only a one day glitch.

14. Does our Air Force have orders to shoot down any....
Birds that violate restricted air space?

After all, some 'terrist' could rig up a goose to take out Shrub, so the Air Force should have the orders to fire missiles at all incoming birds. Uh-oh, what about the 'terrist' launched gophers digging towards the White House?

All of this is possible, so we had better destroy it while we can. Well, we better just have a scorched Earth policy to nuke ourselves to save us from these attacks on our misLeadership.

17. do we really need (3rd R with towel)?
He's the only one in shorts - and we all know our "president" is hard at work vacationing even when he's in DC.

I wonder if the towel was to clean out his diapers after he heard of the potential terra attack.
