Saw President Bush's plane (response to "Saw J.T.'s Plane")

You, my friend, seem to have little room for using the word "complex."

I didn't use it at all. Protecting your freedom is not complex, it's just
difficult. But if you don't protect it, you'll lose it, guaranteed. If you
do not defend your rights, you eventually won't have any. You can argue with
these realities all you want, but you can't change them.

Hm, then the vice President steps up (as designed). If you _make_ him
(the POTUS) important than he _is_ important (and a more attractive
target). But if you treat it as a "well, I he get's killed then the next
one will step up" than you will have an easier live (and it will save
you tons of money).

I'm an A&P student here at Texas State Technical College and our
campus is the old James Connally Air Force Base (Waco, TX.). When Bush
goes to & from Crawford, Air Force One lands & parks here as Waco
Regional's runways are too short for a 747. He then takes Air Force 2
(big helicopter) out to or from his ranch, flanked by several other
mean looking choppers as well as identical decoys, I assume.

FYI... ANY air force aircraft with the Prez aboard is Air Force One.
Helicopter, 747, you name it. When the big blue jet is without the
president, it is not air force one.

Air Force Two is the call sign of an air force aircraft with the VP
aboard (when not outranked by the presence of the prez).

Marine One is ususally the call sign of the helicopter carrying the
president, since that is the service brance detailed with carrying the
president, both home and away, by helicopter.

Just nitpicks.

Dont worry.. Once bush leaves office, the bubble of airspace disappears
and you wont be troubled by it again (at least in Crawford) until Jenna
or barbara gains the presidency (grin)

(When Bob Dole came to town several years ago he saw the Evergreen B-17
parked near the hangar and made security and staff stop what they were doing
so he could go tour the airplane and talk to the volunteers. Now there's a
good man!)

Yep, Dole should've been elected president. Our country would have
benefited greatly from his wisdom and experience, IMHO.

Maybe it's 'cause we're at war now, but, the change hasn't exactly gone over
well here.

The U.S. is not at war.

Really? Tell that to the folks who attacked us, we taxpayers who are
footing the enormous bill, and to the mothers of our dead.

He's just being his normal, anal retentive, nit picking, asshole self
trying to show everyone how intelligent he is.

Technically, the US hasn't been at war since WWII.

Dole, had he been elected (and given his opponent, that could not have been
bad), would have been another Dwight Eisenhower.

War of words? That'd be Usenet! Who knew so few people could generate so
many flamewars?

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much posted by so few."

Flame war? Shouldn't that be "..toasted by so few"?

Is that good or bad?
