Who Will Be Held Accountable for This Morning's 9/11-esque Scare ?

NRO ^ | April 27, 2009 | Jim Geraghty

Whose idea was it to not inform the public when authorizing an extremely low-flying airliner to fly over the Hudson River near lower Manhattan? Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Air Force, New York State or city officials? Or perhaps a better question is, who had responsibility to inform the public, and who dropped the ball?

The Wall Street Journal has posted some of the first video of the flight . . .

[Califreak]

Aholes, all of them.

[b4its2late]

N0body.........

[the invisib1e hand]

f*ckin unbelieveable. anyone got a video link?

[Obadiah]

Obviously it was a campaign commercial for Obama. Air Force One circling the Statute of Liberty - at taxpayer expense!

[ClearCase_guy]

Dick Cheney?

[Slapshot68]

Well if Bush was still in office, it would be Bush. Obama, however, is never to blame.

[Obadiah]

Not with the corrupt MSM covering for Obama.

[dfwgator]

Well if Bush was still in office, it would be Bush

It doesn't matter, they'll find a way to blame Bush anyway.

[avacado]

Just Obama having fun with his Islamic buddies saying look out the windows and watch all the people scatter out of the buildings.

[No Truce With Kings]

C’mon. We *KNOW* what the Obama Administration’s take on the blame will be:

-—>>> BUSH’S FAULT!!! <<<-—

Right?

Buller? Anyone?

[SuziQ]

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs just told reporters he had absolutely no information on the matter.

The White House press pool would not have let President Bush's Administration get away with the "I don't know anything about it" excuse. President Bush would have immediately been villified on the air for being "out of touch", and "dismissive of the safety of the American people". Have any of these reporters said anything of the sort about That One?

[pabianice]

The most senior manager at the FAA who was appointed by Bush.

[the invisib1e hand]

this is some kind of bullshit psyche-op.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Bush/Cheney/Rove’s fault.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs just told reporters he had absolutely no information on the matter.

None of these guys know anything about anything..and they run the country..gives me a bunch of confidence.. IMAGINE if Tony Snow had said HE had no information on the matter..it'd be headlines from now till the end of May..

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Talk about a waste of fuel and money...!

[DieHard the Hunter]

I bet Obama uses this as a catalyst to “do something”. After all, never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> f*ckin unbelieveable. anyone got a video link?

At the WSJ site there is a video link with about a minute’s worth of video. Spooky stuff!

[JimSEA]

this is some kind of bullshit psyche-op.

We are being told it was a photo op. That is a clintonesque non-answer. What was the photo op for, who approved it and who benefits? It might get real interesting but I don't ever expect answers.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Video

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The most senior manager at the FAA who was appointed by Bush.

**** DING DING DING DING DING ****

Hold your phones calls, please, ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

[angcat]

LOL

[screaminsunshine]

Stali...I mean Obama could not possibly know about this.

[SaveTheChief]

Nothing will happen. No one will be held accountable. A year ago there would have been hearings.

[Edizzl79]

Its my fault, I told Obama last night that it would be ok, sorry everyone.

[exit82]

I called the White House comment line and asked the operator what idiot at the FAA approved this stunt that panicked thousands of people in NYC and NJ.

Called one Senator and my Congressman and asked them the same thing.

Folks, this was a terror event triggered by our own government.

Someone needs to be canned for this one.

Napolitano would work.

Call your COngresscritters—let’s put some pressure on this idiotic Administration.

[the invisib1e hand]

thx.

[combat_boots]

Those who videotaped it?

[GOYAKLA]

It can’t be you,unless you are The Famous Teleprompter.

[CSM]

“Its my fault, I told Obama last night that it would be ok, sorry everyone.”

Wow, color me shocked. The TOTUS is a FReeper. No wonder ther is all the ummmmmms in every speech!

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

We are being told it was a photo op. That is a clintonesque non-answer. What was the photo op for, who approved it and who benefits?

That's what I'd like to know. Photo op? WTH for??

[JimSEA]

LOL Thanks for owning up!!

As I posted on another thread, "When I heard it was “just a photo op”, my next thought was, “Is O’s buddy Michael Moore making another movie??"

[oscars300]

Sounds like a good bet. “Glory to the Emperor” I believe is the working title.

[PGR88]

As far as the MSM is concerned, it didn’t happen.

[Deb]

This has nothing to do with the FAA. It has to do with the White House liason’s office or the DHS’s liason office.

[Redleg Duke]

They will blame Bush and the Republicans.

[gunnyg]

Methinx, we ain’t see nuthin’ ....yet!!!!!

[Joe 6-pack]

LOL....that’s his new name...”The Stali-Bama”

[armymarinemom]

So far the Military is getting the blame

[yorkie01]

Since this could have been a ‘for real event’ and these morons from NYC have already abandonned intelligence gathering, they need to just shut their #!*^%$’n pieholes!

[GOPJ]

No one will be held “accountable”. The MSM doesn’t care if a dem does wrong - they would care more if we dared to object...

[GOPJ]

Its my fault, I told Obama last night that it would be ok, sorry everyone.

Conservatives will be the "scapegoats" soon enough...

[screaminsunshine]

Rush had on a guy fron Russia who said the average shmoes did not believe anything was because of Stalin. The dozeo’s thought he “just did not know”. Just like the Obamatons here.

[Cicero]

Maybe Michael Moore is making a movie.

[Gritty]

[chris_bdba]

I honestly hope it reawoke NYC over the danger they are in with Obama at the wheel but I seriously doubt that it will.

[Sequoyah101]

Somebody in the whitey house ordered this and the USAF executed as ordered.

USAF would never do this on their own. They know how stupid this is. I only hope they got it in writing ...though I think that is fat chance if they asked for it.

What I would really like to think though is that USAF set the whitey house up for this one and that they will be successful in execution.

[CodeToad]

Who is their right mind would take a 747 that low and slow for a sightseeing tour of New York???

First, there is 9/11, but a 747 that low?? That is just plain (no pun intended) stupid.

[Bluebird Singing]

oBozo should be thrown in prison for this - the buck stops with him - this is terrorism.
