A beer with Obama would be my guess.

Denver ABC affiliate reports:

Two jet fighters flew in from Buckley Air Force Base to meet the flight as it flew the final 40 miles to Denver.

Fox News is apparently sleeping again. MSNBC and CNN have already done reports on the plane incident. Nothing from Fox.

It will be up to the government of Qatar to decide whether to allow him to be charged or not.

If they play the “diplomatic immunity” card, their delegation will likely be sent home, our delegation will be called home, and Qatar will go on the terrorist list and all trade between us will be shut down.

So likely he will be cut loose and charged with an attempted terrorist attack.

I guess since the underwear thing didn’t work, the Jihadis are back to lighting their sneakers, which didn’t work either.

What’s next?

Oh, that’s right... HMS Secretary Janet Napolitano saying this was an ‘isolated incident’ and the ‘system worked the way it should’ in 3...2...1...

I don’t recall this kind of stuff occurring during the Administration of G.W. Bush. These ragheads were not even getting a chance to fly to the U.S.A. My, how things have changed — CHANGE WE CAN[NOT]BELIEVE IT!!!

I posted the same article from ABC out of frustration, apparently moments after you. But, you win the prize today....
