Tool bag? This war?
Who exactly are you at war with?
This is a story about some Air Force person scheduling AF1 for a photoshoot, probably not that different than the footage of AF1 flying by Mt Rushmore, over the Grand Canyon, etc? And a break down in communcations causing panic in NYC.
And you are declaring war?
I rest my case.

Do you seriously buy that though? This is the most secure plane on the planet, and some low-rank person just decided it'd be nice to fly it over the scene of the worst terrorist act in Human history? And they managed it, with a fighter jet accompanying it?

Obama and his administration should be put on trial for torture. Obama talks about waterboarding terrorists, he scared half of NYC yesterday that some people suffered heart attacks and some pregnant women went into labor. I say someone file a class action lawsuit against him and his incompetent administration.

I came across this headline today "Air Force One flyover sparks panic in New York" posted to the guardian co uk. The part I found interesting is that the article quotes Highground and Riley, and as many of you know are members here on ATS
Air Force One flyover sparks panic in New York
Military photo opportunity near site of September 11 attacks in New York prompts evacuations
Snip~~
There was also criticism, coupled with scepticism about the official explanation, on the blogosphere. On the abovetopsecret forum, Highground wrote: "Perhaps 'they' are gauging what a certain area will do in the event of such an attack in the future." On the same site, Riley suggested Air Force One "had to make a detour because of a security threat".
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has ordered an internal review to determine how the decision was made to send of one of his official airplanes on a low-flying photo op past the New York City skyline.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that deputy chief of staff Jim Messina will lead the review. Gibbs said the point is to determine "why that decision was made and to ensure that it never happens again."
Gibbs said Obama was "furious" when he heard about the incident. Obama has called it a mistake.
Mr Obama was not on board the 747 at the time and was reportedly "furious".
The day after the incident, the president said: "It was a mistake, as was stated...and it will not happen again."
In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD the Federal Aviation Administration's James Johnston said the agency was aware of "the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes" in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out.
The NYPD was so upset about the demand for secrecy that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly vowed never to follow such a directive again and he accused the feds of inciting fears of a 9/11 replay.

Did anyone catch the CNN report from the whitehouse in the last hour?
The Photo Op apparently was not the primary objective of the flight.
It was described as a training exercise that had been planned some time ahead, the Photo Op came about as a bonus.
Apparently Louis Caldera asked if a photo op could take place after finding out about the exercise.
So what was the exercise?
