Stolen plane

[xoxoxoBruce]

The episode was over within minutes as two F-16 fighter jets and two Coast Guard helicopters were dispatched to intercept the plane and escort it to an airport in Maryland, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. North American Aerospace Defense Command spokesman Michael Kucharek said the two helicopters established communications with the pilot.

Unlike the stolen Canadian plane that did not respond to the interceptors. That's the difference.

This one actually had a few potential and serious targets. It did not respond to anyone until after an exvacuation of the Capitol and White House started and only after Coast Guard helicopters finally appeared on its wings.

Ho hum. A stole Cessan in North America that has no viable targets - that is a threat to no one - is hyped as if Al Qaeda was massing to kill us all. A non-event. Two planes threaten restricted airspace in Washington. The second gets even less response now that we realize the silliness of that Canadian Cessna threatening to take out a non-existant skyscraper.

F-16s dispatched to intercept errant planes has become quite routine. We would not be discussing any of this except that extremists need us to fear evil. Canadian Cessna was a non-event to most. It would have never even been posted but for classicman. And that is the point. Extremists are still hyping fear and hate at every opportunity.

Well, at least Hillary did not get blamed this time.

Pretty myopic, thinking that only skyscrapers and large planes are a concern. You're letting your hate cloud your judgement.

Wacko fearful of one Cessna when numerous other Cessnas (including two in one day) easily threaten serious targets and get almost no attention. Even the Capitol and White House started to evacuate because nobody could contact that Cessna. But it gets no attention now that we have put that Canadian Cessna into perspective - Ho Humm.

Routine is to have stray planes threaten irrelevant targets. Routine is to have Cessnas also threaten Washington - without any public hype and fear. Excessive are extrmists who hyped this into more hate and fear of bogeymen hiding everywhere to kill us all.

Ironically same even refused to ask the serious question: when do we go after bin Laden? Clearly, a stray Cessna deserves more attention than getting bin Laden. Why does an extremist fear Cessnas and love it when we all but protect bin Laden? Hyping stray Cessnas and keeping bin Laden alive both promote the political agenda. Promote more hate, myths, and fear.

When extremists cannot defend their political agenda, then they post cheap shots to stir the pot. Or blame it all on Obama. This topic only exists to promote hate and fear - the political agenda.

I absolutely refuse to believe you don't get it. You're so bent on ridiculing Classic for posting his concerns about this incident you're purposely ignoring the obvious possible implications pointed out by UT, DAR, Queenie, and myself.
