The President of the United States is likely the most threatened man in the world. As a man who is likely constantly running from impending assassination, it’s surprising that we are just now learning that the Obama Administration entrusts a Middle East company with the servicing of the President’s airplane.
An attack against Air Force One would be an attack on both the President and an Icon of American diplomacy, and is for that reason no doubt an attractive — if once unattainable — target for terrorists around the world.
With this revelation, though, a path to the president through the Middle East has been opened. While the White House is adamant that security measures are in place that would ensure that anyone with contact with the plane is thoroughly vetted, the question remains:
Why allow for the possibility in the first place?
USA Today has the facts on the next page. Check them out:
Stupid is as stupid does!
Actually we pay the bills and it’s pretty clear Obama gets whatever he wants. It’s an American jet and should be serviced in the good old USA!!
Great, out source jobs to a region known to be full of terrorist and in general anti American wtf happened to common sense?
As long as it happens to Obama.
No longer a Presidential plane
Dumb choice.
Come on – we don’t have anybody qualified in the USA to do that ? How dumb are we ?
obummer not in any danger from his buddies!
King Obama must have a death wish to trust anyone but Americans to keep his plain in the air….. He’s crazy
He would rather trust his Muslim brothers the Americans who has made to be his enemy
