Ping to #76.
If it was hijacked I guarantee you it would have been shot down at the first chance that the fighter pilot could have had a clear shot especially when it was over water.
Unless Obama changed the ROE.
If anything it could have been a remote chance by an official to deliberately make Obama look like an idiot and divert attention away from something else altogether, people are looking too hard at one hand and not the big picture.
The real issue is to step back and look and listen for something else, astronomers usually find planets by taking multiple photos and looking at at what DOESN”T move.
Myself I think it was done in an attempt to flush out hidden terrorists that may have been brought into the area with portable SAMs and also there was chatter on the internet from Muslim groups.
It is near a new moon....

I REALLY hate to say this, but I wouldn’t put anything past Obama...
The one thing that gets me about the coverage of this incident. If they were “taking pictures”... where is the helicopter/plane with the photographer... Does anyone REALLY think the F-16s were taking PICTURES???
Don’t know exactly what happened here, but I don’t believe a word that comes out of Gibbels’ (Press Sec. Gibbs) mouth.
Most of us remember what happened on 9-11. This administration just remembers a bright sunny day....
