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:
Thats pretty pathetic when a plane the president flys around in that we pay for doesn’t even provide an American with a job
If I was Trump I would drink a can of lye.
Wtf! This should never ever happen! Holy$#%&!@*what ignorance
I’d cancel that contract first day.
There is absolutely no level on which this makes any sense. This action puts everyone who flies on this plane, in the future, at risk. The plane could have been sabotaged. There could have been surveillance devices installed. Now they know what the plane’s interior looks like and what equipment is installed. Absolute stupidity to allow any foreign country such unfettered access to Air Force One. Disciplinary action should be taken on whoever had this brilliant brainstorm. It couldn’t pissibly have been our President!
That’s good a good one Lol
Obama is showing his true colors.
Seriously? No way!
If I were Trump, I would have the Oval Office and the entire White House swept for surveillance devices. Marine One and the presidential limos, too.
Nuts
