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:
Meh. He’s got his own
This is crazy
Don’t trust them take your own plane
No way Jose, it must be service in USA.
Same as white house
Roger Dodds, another commentor, Barry Southwood, made the same observations and got derided for saying so. Seems “Truth and Action” readers would rather believe the worst of everything about muslims and Obama than be objective. And if a news source does NOT confirm this worldview, then it OBVIOUSLY must be “lamestream”,”driveby”, “libtard”, or otherwise slanted to the “left” and as a consequence, “anti-american.”
It never occurs to them that THEIR prefered news source could be just as slanted…
Time to put that Plane to Bed!!!!
tell them to keep it !!!!!!!!
That is taking “out sourcing” too far, there are U.S. based inspection and overhaul facilities.
I HOPE TRUMP HAS IT RESERVICED BEFORE HE FLIES ON IT
