    I also read that is what happened in the newspaper. But, I've been to Bagdad airport. It's flat with nothing around. How do you hide a Blue and white B747? And the troops did'nt see it??

    I guess maybe the whole thing happened in the dark. But it is still hard for me to understand how they kept the troops that are stationed at the airport in the dark.

    carloskavros; If you go f*ck yourself, does that make you a Pedophile? Tip: Please be mental with me.

    Broadmoor High Security Mental Hospital has been contacted and the men in white coats with a giant net will be at your domicile shortly, as Interpol is quite interested in seeing how your wireless straitjacket with integrated keyboard is causing interference with your dental fillings.

    If you put a monkey in a room randomly tapping on a keyboard, eventually he will produce..........

    Of course, that's what they said about my term papers as well.

    hey WAX FYI..... any aircraft the president is on is automatically identified as call sign " airforce one" gulfstream , cessna , doesnt matter what type or size its a FAA/military regulation. for the trip in this post they may have used a different call sign but you can bet your lunch money that all thoses that need to, knew that was " airforce one" in regaurds to the president bieng on board. "airforce one " flies in a secure radar " bubble" no matter where it is in the world. any aircraft that even tracks close to an intercept/contact course is contacted and threatened. period. scary stuff!!!!! just wanted to share that with ya.

    Any Air Force plane he is on is "Air Force One". When he flew to the carrier he was on "Navy One", and when he flies in the green and white helicopters, it is "Marine One". When Nixon left office aboard the 707 (VC-135), he took off as "Air Force One", but the minute Ford was sworn in, the callsign changed in flight.

    When the blue and white 747's fly without him, they do not use the callsign, "Air Force One." Or in this case, for security. Both flew into Bagdad at night. One spare, as always.

    Pure grandstandign! If he wanted to help the troops he would not have cut the medical benefits to veterans, and not cut teh combat pay.

    article in the Chronicle today: parents are buying their kids in Iraq the proper armour so that they don't get killed. Why did we spend the money on Bush's trip when we haven't equipped our kids with all the proper protective gear? When I get an answer to that question, I'll be able to comment on Bush's trip.
