Geez..front page?
Captain Obvious, please pick up a white courtesy telephone.
Good point. I'm not so sure we'd even shoot at all, now.
Isn't the new Obama phrase for "enemy combatant?"
That’s right. The entire world has been laughing at us since this joker took office.
Originally from Turkey - guess the religion.
What a patently ridiculous reply!

“Full text of the US president’s speech at Turkish Parliament”
SNIPPET: “ANKARA - U.S President Barack Obama made a historic speech to Turkish lawmakers in the capital, Ankara on the first of his two-day visit to the country. Here is the full text of Obama’s speech:”
I love how they change their names. Oops, I forgot our president likes to do that, too.
“Originally from Turkey - guess the religion”
Probably a muslim so Zero will pardon him!
No, they learned that the other day when North Korea tested their ICBM missile.
You’re still far too new to understand who is sarcastic, without the usual “/s” and who is not.
He’ll pardon him, have a nice long “convincing” talk with him and then give him the keys to a public housing unit in Boston.
Some details:
“U.S. troopers arrest pilot of stolen plane from Thunder Bay, Ont.”
BY DAVID WYLIE, CANWEST NEWS SERVICEAPRIL 6, 2009 10:49 PM
SNIPPET: “The plane was taken from the Confederation College Aviation Centre, which is located at the Thunder Bay airport, Judi Maundrell, the college’s vice-president of academics and student services told radio station CKPR.
“Apparently somebody jumped over the fence and just jumped into an aircraft,” she said.
“It was sitting as usual parked on the ramp. They keys are in all the aircrafts because students are using them.”
According to Cessna’s website the 172 Skyhawk has a maximum cruise speed of 233 kilometres per hour and a range of about 1,130 kilometres.”
The guy’s probably a relative. Being from Turkey, I’d say it’s about a 98% chance this putz is a practioner of the “Religion of Peace”.
I wonder if we’ll have to wait for a North Korean missle to “land” before Obumma decides to take any action?
Ditto.
Welcome to FR. Lovely screen name you have there.
You don’t think this is front page news? Are you an editor from the New York Times?
Who are we to judge? We don't really know yet how victimized he was by the "evil system" that's always keeping the little guy down and keeping him from owning his own Cessna.
And what's with the silliness of arbitrary borders to citizens of the world only looking for a better life beyond their own borders?
Who knows what draws a man to risk all to go to beautiful Missouri, the true promised land, in a stolen airplane?
Wait until we find out how the evil exploiters raised the price of flying lessons to a point anybody would snap under the same circumstances.
