Fighter jets forced down a small plane that flew too close to President Bush's ranch Friday.

Secret Service spokeswoman Ann Roman said it wasn't clear how close the plane came to the central Texas ranch, but it flew into a restricted area.

Nice to know they can still scramble fighter jets when it's IMPORTANT.

1. We've go a great air defense when they are not STOOD DOWN.

9/11 could have been stopped after the planes were hijacked if Rumsfeld had not refused to release NORAD to do their jobs.

Wake up, ostriches, it is MIHOP.

San Marcos is a hundred miles from Crawford. The Pilot must have flown over Temple, Fort Hood, Georgetown and Austin to get to San Marcos. And they say he was forced down???
