If we knew where to look for them, why didn't we take them out with all the bajillion sorties we were flying? I mean, if you are flying bajillions of sorties, aren't anti-aircraft depots just down the list from radar, command, and control systems?
That a terrorist could sit on a boat off JFK airport and shoot down a passenger plane as it ascends could now be a real possibility.
This direct reference to TWA 800 like is s pretty tongue in cheek comment, even for Morris. Are you telling us you KNOW something, Dickie?
It isn't hard to envision the kind of "security" around airports and flight paths we're going to "need" now. Of course, we have to presume there really were these 20,000 missiles in inventory that Gadaffi somehow wasn't using against anybody to save his sorry skin. I guess he was busy at the time.
My point is that this story stinks in more ways than one.
The 20,000 figure would sound more in line if they were RPG’s vs. MANPADS
Wasn’t our SEAL TEAM Helicopter shot down with one of these portable SAM’s ?????
