| EVACUATION at Capitol WASHINGTON DC |
 |
Edited on Wed May-11-05 12:10 PM by MADem
MSNBC, breaking, will post link once I find one....
They are reporting that the WH is being emptied as well, fighter jets overhead (one just whipped by my house); they believe it is an airspace incursion...perhaps accidental?
One reporter said that the phrase "enemy aircraft overhead" was used.
Jesus!!!!

Did they find another grenade? |

 |
Edited on Wed May-11-05 01:37 PM by Whoa_Nelly
Damn! Am watching this on CNN right now, and due to my complete lack of any faith in this administration, I have to wonder if: A) As the "story" unfolds, will the pilot turn out to be a "brown-skinned" person? B) Is there anyone on Du who has seen the footage of the grounded plane that can find out who owns the Lancaster-based Cessna? C) Is this whole "emergency" a Rove wet dream brought to fruition to help push the poll numbers up, as well as to divert attention from the bad press and reception Shrub has been receiving while on his mega-taxpayer paid expense trip abroad? Is there any journalist bold enough, savvy enough to dig deep enough into this continuing alert BS that consistently happens when the numbers are down? I am so goddam sick of the current state of our out-of-control government!  On edit: Re: Current press gaggle: Reporter just asked WHY WAS THE WHITE HOUSE INTERNAL ALARM NOT ACTIVATED? rESPONSE: I THINK IT WAS Then, all the reporters started laughing because they were in the WH, and KNEW that the internal alarm HAD NOT been activated. Adds to my belief that this was a media BS hoax at the taxpayers expense, not to mention that that this entire adminitration needs to be fully investigated, starting with Rove and Cheney.

It would be nice to feel confident that the boobs in charge wouldn't disrupt government business and scramble jets for political points. But their inaction on 9/11 and the propaganda they've been spewing since 2001 leave me wondering if this is a serious threat or not. I hope it's not, even if that means the BFEE is beyond cynical. But THAT would mean they're wasting everyone's time and money.

Or Whatever Condi's quote was. For those of you who don't remember: This story was published on September 13, 1994. Radar Detected Airplane before White House Crash By Ruben Castaneda and Pierre Thomas The Washington Post WASHINGTON
<snip> At 1:49 a.m., Secret Service agents and witnesses saw the plane descend toward the White House.
Eyewitnesses said the plane flew near the Washington Monument, then banked left and turned toward the White House.
Arthur Jones, a White House spokesman, said the plane initially hit the grass lawn about 75 feet from a holly hedge and a magnolia tree that was planted during Andrew Jackson's presidency, from 1829 to 1837. The plane skidded into the hedge, and its left wing was clipped by the magnolia tree, Jones said.
The plane traveled another 30 feet before crashing into the West Wing of the White House, Jones said. A mangled heap stopped against the wall to the office of the White House physician, Jones said. <snip> Thanks, MADem

A small plane with mechanical troubles of some sort went off course according to Blitzer.

Did you see that motorcade haul out of there?
I guess we know who the SS is really interested in protecting.

Sun Tzu, The Art of War says to test your enemie's defenses to see how he will respond to a given threat.
Now they know how to get everyone outside into the open where they're easier targets.

| 133. Good point. About as one would expect. |

Next one won't come from the air, however, so there's still a lot of uncertainty. On both sides.

| 148. Maybe not. They could have a "feint" like an "un-authorized plane".... |  |
 |
just to get people outside and into the open.
Then bombs, mortars, chemical attack, whatever once they're all outside.
It's the same kind of tactic abortion clinic bombers use.
1) Bomb threat. 2) Observe where they evacuate to. 3) Place small bomb inside clinic. 4) Second bomb goes-off close to where they wait after evacuating.
It's also a tactic described in Army field manuals on sabotage.

evacuate Dr. Dobson? They should have one of these!!  Jesus will come like a thief in the night, so you'd better be prepared! Two nested camoflage helmets are filled to the brim with everything you'll need to survive the coming Apocalypse. Authentic retro Bible tracts will explain every detail of the event. Two "Atomic Fireballs" provide sugar for quick energy, two compasses, two "Jesus Lights the Way" flashlights, two police whistles, and one camo binoculars and duct tape for protection against biological warfare. Buy two - one for the home, and one for the car! Attractively wrapped in cellophane, which can be recycled into a tent!

http://story.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050511/ap_on_go_co/c... WASHINGTON - The U.S. Capitol and White House were evacuated Wednesday. War planes were seen flying overhead and security cars rushed away from the buildings. "Leave, run," security officers shouted to staff and reporters at the Capitol. "This is not a drill," guards shouted as they moved people away from the building. Shortly after noon, officers rushed through the Supreme Court building and told staff to get into the basement. At the Treasury Department, people were moved across the street

| 87. They sent a custom service BLACKHAWK up after the aircraft |
 |
It is 17+ miles away now, and that pilot is in TROUBLE.
I'll bet that pilot has a set of shitty drawers right about now.

It's a glorious, absolutely clear day here: hard to understand how a pilot could get lost, but I bet he's not lost now! He's probably set down at an AF base & shaking hard.

The Blackhawk is shadowing the plane now, if it isn't already down. If that guy was heading to National, he's fucked. If he was heading anywhere else, he is still fucked.
The Senate and House will want to QUASH this issue, and sweep this story under the rug, because they want National to STAY OPEN. Why? Cuz it is CONVEEEEEEEENIENT for them!!!!!

| 91. This hasn't happened before? |

This is a far cry from security over nuclear plants where you can practically skim over the facilities without anyone giving a damn.
In coincidental conjunction with the Ridge admission of unjustified alerts I would definitely say this is politically timed. The Congress hasn't been scared in a while and apparently they have been willing to throw away all sorts of lives and freedoms when stampeded.
A Cessna with no radioactive traces could do what exactly. Egg the White House? In which case putting living targets outside is more of a risk.
Panic in Foggy Soiled Bottom.
It was amusing to hear some WH reporters actually trying to cover a breaking story. Apparently no one passed out Rove pamphlets as the limos careened away from the WH.
