And wasn't it Peter Jennings who on 9/11 speculated that the President was "hiding" by moving around in AF-1 to secure Air Force bases and those destinations were unknown to the general public until after arrival? Who knew then whether these terrorists had missles ready to launch at the plane. A very prudent precaution and in hindsight, with this story, it could have been a sorry reality.

Yes, and Richard Cohen of the Washington Compost wrote something similar in a piece of used toilet tissue called "War Behind Schedule".
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A45080-2001Nov5¬Found=true "Whatever the case, this war appears to be behind schedule. The administration, of course, will not say so. But this administration is already operating from a credibility deficit. It is hard to forget that concoction of fibs trotted out to explain and excuse Bush's hop-scotching the country on Sept. 11. Air Force One itself had been targeted, it was said; a credible threat, we were told. As it turned out, neither the threat nor the administration's account of it was credible."
No Leftist licestorm who chanted "AWOL Bush" has ever acknowledged that if Gore were the President the same rules in place that the CIA, FBI, FEMA, Secret Service, NORAD, you name it, had, whatever they are, would have been in effect.

...In a new Time of War...
...In a new Century...
...With an Enemy that is now...
...Just around the Corner...
...And up your Street...
...President BUSH has promised FREEDOM's coming to the oppressed peoples & cultures of the World as our own best Self-Defense against future Terrrorist Attacks.
...Long ago HILLARY RODHAM & BILL CLINTON backed our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH's Communist Victory over FREEDOM for a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
...During the 1990's HILLARY RODHAM & BILL CLINTON refused 3 Offers from the Sudan to bring our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to the custody of a Jail & Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on us on September 11, 2001.
...President BUSH is a Champion of FREEDOM and is producing it worldwide, something HILLARY RODAH & BILL CLINTON just cannot stand =
...President BUSH is now in very grave danger as a result.

What-ever happen to the story about someone having AF1 codes or something like that, announced during this same time.
