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:
Why not contract to an American company to do the work?
Maybe they’ll sabotage his ass
This is treason
Sounds good to me. Obama flies on it!
What a bunch of idiots!!
Let Obama take it on a TEST FLIGHT…!
It’s ironic that Middle East sheiks and sultans depend on Obama for servicing???
Did anyone READ the article on the next page? “No foreign nationals have access to Air Force One at any time, Karns said. Generally, GDC employees complete work on furnishings in San Antonio, and Boeing employees re-install items on the plane. But GDC employees who are U.S. citizens with proper background checks are escorted on to Air Force One to conduct repairs, he said.” Dave
Why ???
It was built and modified here, you mean to say there is no one hear that can service it ? B.S. !
