NEW YORK (CBS) [2] – A furious President Barack Obama ordered an internal review of Monday’s low-flying photo op over the Statue of Liberty.
CBS 2 HD has discovered the feds will have plenty to question.
Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and Air Force One to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public.
Even the Obama adminsstration is not so stupid as not believe low flying airliners would cause New Yorkers to panic. Michelle [3] is digging for some answers:
We now know thanks to WCBS in NY that the feds knew the “mission” would cause panic and that they went ahead with the secret plans, anyway. There are still a lot more unanswered questions about what happened in the skies above New York City. I have filed two FOIA requests with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Staff FOIA Requester Service Center seeking more info, including the flight manifests; communications that would shed light on the origin of the “mission,” and copies of any and all photos taken on the taxpayer-subsidized journey. Let’s have some of that vaunted transparency Barack Obama is always talking about
As is Clarice [4]:
Seriously, what other “photo op” except an adventure film could this have been for. And if the theory is right, was it worth scaring New Yorkers? How much did we pay for this Obama promotion–because surely the film will end with him flying victoriously in that plane followed by a fighter plane from Alabama?
The Narcissus president, having just canceled the F-22, doesn’t believe in jet fighters for the national defense, but evidently does for photo-ops. Contact New York’s senior senator [5] and tell him you demand some honest answers.
