Plane violates airspace over President Bush's ranch

UWASHINGTON (Reuters) - A small airplane twice flew into restricted airspace above President George W. Bush's Texas ranch in what the Secret Service decided was an inadvertent violation, a Secret Service spokeswoman said on Monday.

The spokeswoman said the incident began about 11:30 p.m. (12:30 a.m. EST/0430 GMT) on Sunday night while the president and his wife were at the ranch near Crawford, Texas.

A spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said fighter jets were scrambled and intercepted the airplane on its second incursion. The pilot voluntarily landed at a nearby airport, the NORAD official said.

The pilot was interviewed by the Secret Service afterward and a decision was made that it was "an inadvertent violation," the spokeswoman said.

So let me get this straight.......

On 9-11-2001, Four Boeing passenger jets get hijacked and they can't get planes in the air for a FUCKING HOUR (by which time it's too late)

But when someone accidentally enters Chimpy's "airspace" they are forced out of the sky by NORAD within minutes??

BTW, since when does a privately owned ranch have its own "airspace" anyhow??

So, you still think gov't incompetence is still a conspiracy Ford?

Funny how no fighter jets were scrambled To the Towers on 9-11. Only to a little ranch in Texas.

Hey, Bush has his priorities, you know...and he's always more than willing to let us all know what's NOT a priority, so...

No surprise here...

I don't think it was incompetence at all. They managed to scramble jets into the air before 9-11 when Payne Stewart's Lear jet was way off course. And they managed to do it now when someone was flying over middle of nowhere Texas where the Dumbest Son Of A Bitch On The Planet just coincidentally happens to have a house. But they couldn't get a single plane into the air on that day even AFTER one of the hijacked jets had slammed into a goddamned skyscraper.

That's too selective to be incompetence. Or a mere coincidence for that matter.

uh, dude, not all of the posts on 9/11 here agree with the conspriacy theories.


especially ones that would have me believe that the U.S. either flew the planes themselves, or at least could've stopped the planes, but didn't. except they did stop 1, but they said they didn't.

i find that concept just slightly harder to believe than the notion that after 9/11, the U.S. wouldn't change the way it tracked airplanes inside the U.S....



(and FYI, here's a report that says it took just about 90 minutes for the air force planes to make contact with payne stewart's plane. link. according to a conspiracy theory website, the total time from the takeoff of the 1st plane on 9/11 until the crash of the last plane in pennsylvania was 2 hours, 6 minutes. link)

Really who tracked Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle plane before it slammed into a building in Manhattan? Nothing has changed But they knew how to track a plane that was flying over a little ranch in Texas.




As far as the conspriacy theories I'm not getting into a pissing match with anyone anymore the truth will come out about that.

lidle's plane was captured on radar, however because it didn't fly very far off course before hitting the building, the authorities had almost no time to react. cnn.com


but yes, i'd agree that the feds have different levels of coverage for different targets. so what? if we don't have the resources to cover 100% of the country at once (which we don't) then we should focus on higher profile potential targets. i may or may not like the job he's doing (i don't) but the president should nonetheless be one of those higher profile, more-protected targets.

If only I could invent the "flux capacitor" and find a Delorian, I'd go back and change the course of history so we would never have to deal with this criminal empire that is the Bush Administration.
