Owner of A/C That Crashed Into Tampa Building Was Publically Pro-Arab!!!.

Part of article from St. Pete Times after Sept 11.

"Robert C. Cooper, president of National Aviation Flight School and Aviation Rentals, stressed that the extra security cannot be done at the expense of those of Middle Eastern descent.

"I don't want to get involved in profiling," he said. "I have faith in my government. I have to work on the belief that my government has basis to allow them into the country and show them proper respect." end of article.

Cooper is head of National Aviation Holdings that owned A/C. Many Florida flight schools train Arab students. Wonder if comment was made so as not to p. off students. Wonder if Arab pilot flew A/C into building. THIS IS FR EXCLUSIVE!!!

Interesting...

It's not necessary to brainwash a kid that young into doing something stupid. 16 year-old drivers in training get into road accidents all the time; I doubt it's any different with young, inexperienced pilots.

Ah, Miss Payne. I see you are back to attack everything Conservative and American again.

Ah yes Ms Milo, - I only see that anyone who makes fun of your bizarro post is virtually accused of treason.

If it turns out to be a nutty kid, I will have been wrong, and will so publically state. If on the other hand it was an Islamic Fundamentalist.... well then....

Two bits you will never eat your words. You will find SOME way to justify your idiocy. - You always have.

You said that all muslims are terrorists.

That makes you a class 1 moron in my book.

According to the aircraft database on qrz.com, it was a 172R NOT retractable. Not that it matters much.

according to the guy on msnbc right now who flew that very airplane regularly, it was an RG.

and a 15-year-old pilot, according to the sheriff's department. which makes it not unlike a crash i covered in lauderhill, just north of inverrary, in 1977. kid stole a plane and took three of his friends for a ride. in that case, he apparently wanted to take a look at a thunderstorm.

now we here the kid has the muslamic name of charles bishop.

meanwhile, a united express commuter has crashed between denver and boulder.

How about this one...

"More than one coincident coincidence is not a coincidence"

Muslims support terror and you seem to defend their religion ......how they are truly evil ......open your eyes....close mindedness is so sad......grow up

[tpaine]

Who said it was?

[George W. Bush]

Did the owners also say that increased security could not be at the expense of Arabs?

[Dimensio]

Homeland Security now says it "was not terrorist related"......hmmm

Really? Last I heard they were saying that there was currently no evidence to conclude that it was terrorist related.

Of course, if it were the work of one disturbed individual fulfilling no motive apart from his/her personal paranoia/depression then perhaps it wasn't an act of terrorism.

MSNBC says it is a small cessna. Plane did not have clearance to take off, coast guard followed, pilot ignored hand signals, crashed into bldg...

Well, best I can tell so far from the facts available is that it very likely was not an accident. I'm not about to rally for deporting all Arabs or putting all Muslims in internment camps based on that.

I haven't uttered a single word about their religion you utterly mindless dork.

YOU SAID "All Muslims are terrorists"....

I SAID "You are a moron".

That has thusfar been the extent of our conversation.

[MindBender26]

Homeland Security in DC saying NOT TERRORIST RELATED. I was wrong on coincidence. Apploigize to Arabs, but wonder of owner wants to retract his statement to effect that increased security must not PO the Arabs.

[tpaine]

You only expose your own filthy mind with such slurs, me boy. -- Keep up the good work.

Take away their oil and they can't enroll in these flight schools.

There is a much simpler solution...just don't allow Arabs (or Muslims) from countries that support terrorism to enroll in these flight schools.

Well, it seems unlikely, doesn't it? Christendom has generally complained that 80-90% of its faithful were just nominalists. I'm not sure the Muslims have that much flagwaving support. The Taliban didn't seem too popular when we routed them, did they? Most Muslims are probably no more intensely devoted to the moon-god than most Christians are to their churches.

But the terrorists are the ones who get attention. And due to the political climate and history of the Mideast, they can always find governments and powerful individuals to finance and protect them.
