Mmmmmm.....maybe.
However, I do think O's got a freewheeling buncha lowlifes surrounding him who have enormous federal power.....who think they can do whatever they want whenever they want b/c O's so (cough) "popular."
Hmmm again...I just saw Caldera’s actual statement, which is that he “approved the mission and takes full responsibility for approving it.” The unanswered question, then, is who requested it. Whose request was he approving?
I think we all know the answer to that one! Bambi’s propaganda staff (Axelrod, etc.) probably dreamed it up, but Bambi would have had to give the order to someone in the military. For one thing, joyriding in planes is something the AF is very strict about, and some functionary wouldn’t have had the power to “order” something like this in any case. Remember, for several hours, the WH was denying that it had anything at all to do with the stunt.
I feel we have entered nightmare territory. Not only that the WH would do this, but that they would even think that Americans want to see heroic photos of the Great Leader 24/7. Unless, of course, they were meant for foreign consumption; somebody pointed out how similar the shot was to that famous pre 9/11 Muslim calendar that showed a flaming passenger plane aiming at the Statue of Liberty and other NY monuments.
