Air controllers: Saudi wanted only men

[Fast 1975]

Good idea for NOW and the feminists to boycott oil.

[linn37]

maybe they were afraid they would make tents in their robes

[USNBandit]

Maybe we should request that they use only non-Saudi pilots. Who knows what they are capable of.

In the Waco center, he said, a male controller took charge of the prince's plane from a female controller.

Wonder if they would have put "her" to death if ordered? Stupid question! We knoe the answer!

[jcmfreedom]

I read this article in Drudge. I could only think vicious thoughts about this request by the Saudi's. Unfortunately, they couldn't be translated humanely. Suffice it to say that I no longer consider Saudi Arabia and it's governing "body" worth remaining on this planet.

[sausageseller]

"know" stupid!

"It was our administration that ORDERED it! Do you want to change your mind about which administration is fit to rule?"

Great point!

[ghostrider]

It was our administration that ORDERED it! Do you want to change your mind about which administration is fit to rule?

In this supposedly free country, the current administration is by far the better of the two choices that the corporate monarchs allowed us to choose from.

[Bobby777]

these dirtbags do have chutzpah ... to hell with them and their "requests" ... I vote we put pregnant women eating ham sandwiches with smiling unveiled faces in the towers ...

[weikel]

I wish the corparate monarch's choose the President you'd get a semi libertarian hawk every time.

[John Galt's cousin]

Is this word appropriate?

barbarian
1. A member of a people considered by those of another nation or group to have a primitive civilization. 2. A fierce, brutal, or cruel person. 3. An insensitive, uncultured person; a boor. See synonyms at boor.

Who is John Galt, anyway? Never did find out.

[ghostrider]

It is all about money - big world money. The world's big businesses control the money, thus the politicians, thus you and me. These corporate leaders are not elected by the people, so they have become in effect royalty. Examples abound everywhere, but the uninterrupted tenure of people like Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Bryant Gumble is clear evidence that the monarchs are solidly in control.

It is incredibly amazing how much people imulate the proverbial ostrich by "sticking their head in the ground and their rump in the air" so as to avoid unpleasant facts. They will remain there right up until the point where a preditor bites them in the rear. Look at the Democrats. Eight years of clinton/gore. Then they moved to the Gore/clinton mode. Next, it may be clinton/clinton. But look at the Republicans. You have to go all the way back to 1984 to find when a Bush or a Dole wasn't on their presidential ticket. The future plans are being moulded right before our eyes. A clinton/Dole card is again being prepared for the ostrich masses. Soon, the election may be a real bitch - hillary verses Liddy.

Those looking for another Reagan better pull their heads out of the ground and look at who is getting all the press time (name recognition) without which they can not possible be elected. There is a whole slate of royalty being groomed - Kennedys, Bushes and even one chelsea clinton getting more air time than any "commoner" like Ronald Reagan.

[weikel]

You do not sound like a conservative.

[MissAmericanPie]

They should have left the Saudi's circling until they ran out of fuel.

[Dec31,1999]

Yes, but wasn't clinton a commoner?

[weikel]

And I think I'd like G Gordon Liddy as Prez personally hes psychotic but he is no moderate and hes got guts( reminds me of Patton). He'd probably nuke Mecca.

[Whilom]

The only recourse here is to cut off Mark Pallone's right hand in the public square at high noon.
