Hmm, did they evacuate (or even alert) everyone else in Washington too? Or are the ordinary people that the president is meant to serve not good enough to deserve that?
To: SBeck
Bush remained in the White House throughout the evacuation, a senior administration official said. Laura Bush said on the Today show this morning that they weren't in the White House when this happened.
Supposedly the plane was trying to avoid some storms. It's not clear according to news reports in Richmond whether the plane is still here or not.

Doesn't the first lady know there's a political campaign, er, war going on? /sarcasm

I see you just registered today. Congratulations on winning the dumbest question of the year in such short order.

"Hmm, did they evacuate (or even alert) everyone else in Washington too?" Yes, they evacuated all of Washington and then told everybody it was safe to return 15 minutes later.

America Needs Democrats - good name. Had it not been for the Demonrats in control of this country for eight years from hell - we would not have had the terrorist attack which killed over 3000 Americans.
Democrats === criminal syndicate.
Allies: Dixie Mafia / FALN Terrorists / IRA Terrorists / Palestinian Terrorists / and Larry Flynt.
Worldview: Liberal / Socialist / Communist / Totalitarian
Posterboy heroes: Mao / Stalin / Pol Pot / Castro
Enemies: People who love freedom / People of Judeo-Christian Faith.
Tell me again why we need Democrats?

I don't want to bash Laura Bush. She is light years better than the previous first lady. She was on the Today show to talk about some reading program. Of course, Matt (the Moron) Lauer had to ask about this incident right off the bat. I just find it odd that the AP said they were in the WH and Laura Bush said they weren't.
I still haven't heard the pilot's name in any news reports yet this morning. Of course, that makes me wonder. From the bits and pieces I've heard this morning, the plane was going from Massachuessets to Raleigh, NC. Supposedly there were storms that they were trying to avoid. Somebody (the FAA? I'm not sure who) is getting that data to confirm. It's also unclear whether the plane has been allowed to go on its merry way or not. The plane landed and did not taxi onto the regular taxi-ways. It was moved over to some more secure area of the airport.
It could be that this whole thing will turn out to be a stupid mistake of the pilot. But the lack of information this many hours later makes me wonder what else might be going on.

Um, yeah. So maybe you would care to tell me Bush ditched Clinton's contingency plan on terrorism and axed the budget. You sure it was the Democrat's fault?
To: KS Flyover
Oh, how witty, you're so clever. Oh, I wish I was as clever as you. Please, please God, give me more braincells so I can equal this complete idiot...... (head explodes over computer screen). Sorry about that, lost my sanity for a while back there. Ahahahahahahahaha, back to how great you are........................... .............................. .............................. ..............................

You should have known I was insane by the fact that I actually joined this dumb site. Thankyou for the priviledge!
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
If the first four years were hell, then why did people vote him in again?
To: AmericaNeedsDemocrats
Because Ross Perot was corrupt enough to run twice to divide the conservative vote. And he was paid well for this effort. (His company was).
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
I see that pond scum known as "AmericanNeedsDemocrats" has now been officially 'defrocked' by the Freeper College of Cardinals! LOL! Sayonara A/N/D!
To: jae471
What's also interesting is that not only American military aircraft actually got into the action. The first indication was the Germans getting aloft from Andrews on NATO 10 (E-3B AWACS Geilenkirchen GE). Allies at work.
To: AmericaNeedsDemocrats
We could hope you are no longer here.
To: AmericanInTokyo
Um, I'm not too comfortable with that. Also, I think that German squadron is based out of Dulles, which I'm also not too comfortable with.
