Do Democrats think Miami air marshals lied?
This is a rundown of what happened at the Miami Airport on Wednesday:
A man aboard an American Airlines flight from Colombia:
1. Claimed he had a bomb.
2. Made threatening statements and exhibited erratic behavior.
3. Refused to comply with numerous and repeated demands to stop.
Authorities determined that:
1. The man posed a mortal threat to those around him.
2. The man refused to comply with their demands to disarm.
As a result, the man was shot and killed. This lessened and perhaps ended the threat against those on the plane. Future threats from others may have also been discouraged.
As it turned out, the man didn’t have a bomb, but those whose job it is to know believed that he could have. They judged that the man’s statements and actions posed too great a threat to take a chance – especially in a post-9/11 world. The air marshals launched a pre-emptive strike against a threat based on the best information available.
Howard Dean, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have not yet issued statements.
According to the way I read it, I blame the Air Marshals for not shooting him sooner.
They attempted it with the brazilian mans shooting in london, and you know they are gonna spin this one too.
What Democrats think does not matter to me!;)
