Funny thing was, Bush was essentially saying *he* wasn't going to do exactly what Clinton did do with his Monica wag-the-dog fake attacks. Thank goodness Clinton has nothing better to do now than try to figure out a way to get himself on television to feed his publicity "habit." I'll take Bush any ol' day.
I agree. Liberalism is a luxury afforded to wealthy and comfortable nations that can withstand its degradations. When the $#!t hits the fan and freedom is challenged, only the densest losers hold on to their leftist ideals. It's kind like the old joke: Definition of a libertarian is a liberal that has been mugged.
"Stepping up to the microphone with his mother and father, Bill and Hillary and all the other White House decourously arranged behind him, George W. Bush praised his father as '...a man who entered the political arena and left with his integrity intact.'
As xlinton looked intently down at his speech, [then]Gov. Bush went on, 'George Bush,' his eldest son said, 'was a war hero, loving husband...and a president who brought dignity and character and honor to the White House.'"
You know Dubya was as disgusted with #42 as any Freeper.
FIVE THOUSAND LOST THEIR LIVES FOR THE WANT OF TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS.
Israel Airlines bolts the Cockpit door and all Pilots and copilots carry Firearms.
New Release
Ponder for a moment.
We trust a pilot with a 30 million-dollar plane knowledgeable of complex airplane functions, but government policy will not allow them to operate a simple firearm.
ILL FLY AGAIN WHEN PILOTS ARE ARMED.
Israel Airlines bolts the Cockpit door and all Pilots and copilots carry Firearms.
Scanning the websites this week the following thread from Pilots, Law Enforcement, and American Citizens discuss ways to take positive action against air terrorism.
We trust a fancy security question (Thanks to Jim Kallstom, former FBI, did you pack your bags?) but not millions of active and retired law enforcement officers to Citizen Carry on an airplane.
May I rant for a second! Get these liberal, antigun activists out of our government decision making process. Consider, Israel Airlines policy is to bolt the door, arms it pilots, and has armed travelers in the cabin.
We allow lowly-paid gate-guards to gate dis-arm us, creating a "killing zone of disarmed citizens", as passingers "do battle" in the sky with terrorists, using passion for weapons because misguided government policy has left us defenseless.
The government can not protect you when the terrorist is eyeball to eyeball with you. Now they have ban my pocketknife used to clean my nails. What next, bottles, because they can be smashed for a weapon??
Most all of the former military pilots strapped firearms to their legs when on active duty. Today they are considered not capable, wear the wrong uniform, or untrust worthy.
This BS about putting a 9mm hole in the skin of an airplane will bring it down is more rhetoric and fiction than fact. Just ask the thousand of airmen who returned from flights over Germany in WWII. How about the 747 over Hawaii with a 20-foot hole in the side. Still got a problem with possible decompression? Consider the alternative!
Ill trust anyday my life to any active or retired law enforcement officer to CITIZEN CARRY on any airline.
Ill trust anyday my life to any pilot or copilot active or retired to carry on any airline.
Ill trust any American citizen willing to CITIZEN CARRY after extensive training to carry on any airline. It is a huge responsibility, however, the current "Killing Zones" set up by faulty thinking is killing our husbands, wives, children, and our nation.
I am sure thousands perhaps millions of Americans would trust their life to armed pilots, copilots, air crew members, retired, policemen, FBI, CIA, ATF, or American Citizens willing to train, quality, and stay current with cabin safety issues keeping America airlines safe.
I personally trust all of the above personnel, rather than phony security questions, low-pay air guards, unlocked backdoor food and cleaning functions or gates at airports, or government officials with big titles.
WHO DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT? OR DO YOU TRUST HONEST AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO LIVE AND BREATH FAMILY SAFETY WHEN TRAVELING?
What do you want in your cockpit, a pilot and copilot with a firearm, or a terrorist? 2,180 dollars (four colt pistols)would have prevented all four terrorist acts and saved five thousand lives.
Government will spend billions of dollars with highly visible, and breach-able security that irritates American citizens during check-in when other more effective obvious solutions exist. Just ask Israel.
Thousands of American veterans, retired LEO's and American Citzens want to sign up today to fight terrorism. Don't tell them they are unqualified. If you do tell them they are unqualifed, they may have a word or two for you.

(I will fly again when Pilots are armed)

end ------ Let us hear from the active and retired Law enforcement, pilots, and concerned American citizens.
Give 'em hell, George...
We have a dear family friend who is a United pilot, a darned good shot too. I won't fly again until every U.S. pilot is given firearms and special training in how to take out terrorists. Amtrak ain't that bad...especially if you get a sleeper car...best sleep I ever had!
