What's 1/20/09? I'm out of the loop.

What's 1/20/09? I'm out of the loop.

New president, I believe.

It took me a minute too. I'm thinking it's the day President Bush will no longer be in office. Although, how this mistake can be considered his fault, I fail to see.

Don't you know before Bush, there was never a Bent Arrow incident, Warheads weren't ever flown across the US...don't you know that Bush personaly loaded the weapons on the plane..armed them and then gave them orders to fly, in fact I heard he might have flown the plane himself. (Remember this dumb guy was a fighter pilot and they just hand those jobs to the dumbest of the dumb). So once Bush is out of office this will never happen again.

Well, of course, it can't.

Some just like to make every calamity in the entire world the personal responsibility of the GOP generally, and/or Presidnet Bush specifically.

It certainly doesn't make sense, but whatever makes them happy I suppose.

Military blunders happen.

Remember when American planes bombed a red cross centre in Afghanistan?

They're still terrible things though, of course.

What makes me think one of your 'them' would have blamed Bill Clinton if he'd been in office?

I don't think that is the "Bent Arrow" Bill was interested in!

I don't think the left field fence is that deep in right field.

Human error happens all the time unfortunately, Not good, but it does.

Now to blame this on the president?? WOW !!!!!!!!!

Have some more cool-aide.


Now for that bomb killing thousands. In your expertise you are aware what it takes to arm one of those warheads and of course you know one of those unarmed ones can drop thousands of feet and not explode.

Oh you didn't know? Sorry, didn't know you didn't.

It takes more than one person to arm one....on the plane....in the air.

You know I don't know whether this thread makes me laugh, cry or be sick BUT it is definitely one of them. We were discussing this at dinner tonight and my 9 yr old, yes 9 yr old said what is wrong with people this is no big deal. Haven't they heard of the cold war when we flew planes with nuclear war heads 24/7? There was always a plane in the air always for 40 yrs with war heads in them. Now if a 9 yr old can understand this what does that say about the average american and their knowledge base.

It is no big deal folks. As my son said used to be a constant.

PS. I agree about Bush being a fighter pilot and also a fighter pilot in one of the hardest to fly planes in the American arsenal, only the best got to fly that sucker.

You're not exactly in the habit of tiptoeing around other people's views. Asking others to do something you don't practice yourself usually doesn't go over too well.

Exagerate much!! They were unarmed but surely, it must have been President Bush's fault.

What exactly are you saying? Perhaps I don't want to know.
