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:
Agreed
Why don’t we have maintenance people in the USA??
another scheme from obamnerrrrr ..trump do not acknowledge that plane ..something not right ..!!!
Properly fumigated….
Joyce Saylan true ! I would not use Boeing, as too many IDIOTS in CA. making planes. I sure would not use one, if I was President.
Hey Barry, down here in New Orleans we had a lot of Chinese dryall come in after Katrina.
It was TOXIC. Look it up, Barry.
So the idea we cannot trust Chinese materials is a REALITY.
Why should we trust ANY foreign contractor working on ANY part of AF1 with that knowledge?
And USA today is a well known biased liberal rag of F**E NEWS. You need a legitimate source to get anyone to believe you.
You need to stop believe anyone that disagrees with you doesn’t “read the article.”
Your condescending attitude betrayed you as I just showed you.
Al, you just showed me you didn’t read the original USA Today article, which by the way, if it was f**e news, it was still the basis for this opinion piece. The subcontractors are American! Their company is owned by a Saudi. There are NO foreign contractors working on Air Force One. So if you feel I’m being condescending, maybe that’s the reason.
Is this “f**e news”? Doesn’t make sense.
There are classified things on that plane what are enemies doing anywhere near it? Our military should be doing all the maintenance on af1
OMG Y MIDDLE EAST THAT PLANE BOW UP TRUMP GET ON IT………………… I HOPE IT BLOWS UP WHEN OBAMA IN MID AIR ,,,,,,,BUT NOT THE SERVICE MEN ARE ON THERE
