Given that there are no airlines that fly in or out of Deming, I'd say you're way off base, and that this has nothing to do with Bush's statement.

Are there a lot of hijacked planes flying in to landmarks where you are that the rest of us aren't hearing about?

Also very close to the Mexican border and illegal entry points.

I have been telling you for five years that airplanes have been bombed and/or shot down. The government/media complex always has a new explanation and that 'no evidence exists' of a terrorist attack and you stupid suckers lap up the lies.

Try the latest Russian jet 'crash' for starters. Anybody who does not *KNOW* in their gut that this plane coming from Israel was a terrorist attack is a complete moron.

Other 'events' which were most likely terrorist but you fools have not had the truth spoon fed to you so you don't see it:

Alaska Airlines Mexico - SFO

Swissair with UN biggies on board

EgyptAir (crazy pilot, uh huh, right)

Taiwan

Phillippines

Concorde

Go ahead you fools, only believe it if CNN tells you it is so. As long as 'there is no evidence' then forget about it. Anthrax, oh yeah, that happens a lot but actually it was misdiagnosed in the past. Nothing special going on here, you stupid sheeple.

Consider this: If there were only one plane hijacked and crashed into the WTC - and if the media told you that the pilot was a madman and it was only the pilot that was acting alone - no terrorism. Would you believe the lie? Although you fools can't admit it to yourselves ,the answer is YES - YOU WOULD BELIEVE SUCH A LIE. I have no respect for you fools.

True, Fitz. Deming is about 30 miles from the border. The only other community in Luna county is the Village of Columbus, if I recall correctly. The village is right on the border. There's a very small border town right across the border that had only one main street. Otherwise, it's a pretty desolate county.

"Why do you presume that there are "major cover-ups going on", as opposed to false alarms that get hastily reported and then pulled as soon as cooler heads investigate and find the reports to be bogus? "

I'm inclined to go along with you here, but if there are (understandably) false alarms, then I think it's at least irresponsible just to clam up about them. Wouldn't good journalistic practices require a retraction and an explanation of the false alarm?

Everyone's keyed up right now, and with good reason. We know the other shoe is going to drop sometime. Sloppy approaches to false alarms by the media don't help.

their affiliate in Albequrque is reporting that this is not terrorist related.

A non-terrorist hijacking?

newbie fool? member since 99.

In general, those who have to resort to namecalling have already lost the argument.

Yep. Given the only planes available at Deming are small prop planes, and there are tons of fighter jocks within 100, miles, I'd say it's safe to assume this is a very minor incident.

Deming is home to The Deming Duck Race and Albuquerque is spelled Albuquerque

I hope so. I think some of the would-be terrorists might have underestimated the U.S. I'm sure many will try to carry out the plans that were made for them but aren't going to find it as easy as they hoped. They've been catching Arabs in Mexico who were trying to use the routes the illegal Mexicans use so whatever they meant to do isn't going to get done.

Apparently Silas has been vaporized. He doesn't exist in the freeper profile. What he says is something to think about though. He could have said it in a bit more nice way.
