Air Force One
amazing, I'll hand it to the yanks in one area though, they would have to be the most patriotic country in the western world, *******************************************removed for the "sensitive" ones out there!
The cost of keeping that B747 & it's back-up must be incredible, in some ways a waste but how much care/money should a country take in keeping it's supreme leader safe?
Such antics would never take place in Oz, even if we as a country could afford it our Aussie makeup wouldn't allow it.
Good link there 'bentleg' tnxs

I suspect the cost of maintaining the Presidential fleet pales into insignificance compared to the way our corrupt/moronic/dumbass democrat controlled government is throwing billions of dollars around bailing out businesses that should be allowed to fail.

'The Arab nation are just plain nuts and fanatical.' What the
? You have got to be kidding me. While a small minority might suit this ridiculous image that you have allowed biased media reports to enter your head, why do you think that they are 'nuts and fanatical?'
Because of America's sense of patriotism! "For the good of the nation," they go to ANOTHER nation, under the guise of a 'war on terror' and tear the place up. If you think that it is retribution for 9/11 then ask your self how many more civilians of the supposed perpritraters' nations have been blown up. How would you feel if America came here and started shooting your friends? Because they had 'reason to believe' you had something you didnt? Then making up ridiculous international laws on the spot like "aiding the enemy" which, by that logic, gives these Arab 'fanaticals' grounds to arrest Americans on exactly the same charge, because to them, America is the enemy? I for one, would want to grab a Kalashnikov and take out as many as possible. Everyone knows that would never happen though, Australia doesn't have enough oil to fill the invasion criteria.
That the Arab nation are 'nuts and fanatical' is exactly what the patriotic Americans want you to think.
Try thinking about the situation before blindly accepting what the news is feeding you.

Where's the love fellas?
Cool video.
When I was about 12 I went onboard Kennedy's Air Force One (the one shown in the video which took him to Dallas and then carried his remains out). The seat Kennedy rode in was still there and had apparently not been touched since he'd sat in it (or so the plaque read).

I once raced a motor bike beside a jet full of pollies out at Forrest another life time ago. Think it was a Hawker 800 or something. Didnt look to flash to me and the pilots were whinging about it. reckon the government wouldnt spend ten bucks on the aircraft if they could avoid it.
I beat em for the first 300 Mtrs too
got some freindly waves from the drivers as they blasted past.

'damo' at 19 yrs of age you have much to learn, the new breed of today haven't got a clue! But that's fine we are ALL entitled to an opinion right or wrong in anothers eyes. The yanks whether you like it or not are far more influencial in this crazy world of ours than any other as far as the western world goes & if it wasn't for them & other free nations 60 or so years ago we could all be speaking German by now so as long as I don't have to speak Arabic then let the games continue
'Wiz' that would have been fun but you must remember you will never win against a pollie
'SC' now that's one funny Vid

Wally .. I don't know how old you are but you have learnt little in your time on Earth.
The current American leaders had only one thing on their mind when they invaded Iraq - energy security. Now that keeps all of us in a job because we cannot fathom an existence in this world without energy. But please don't lecture about America's righteousness as their citizens have seen the evils of their leaders and have replaced him with one who at least brings hope. In fact so have the British and even us.
If American leaders were truly to care for humanity there are more pressing parts of the world that could use their 'might' - hey, but no money to be made there.
I have been through small town America and let's say alot of it is no picture but they do speak alot of American 'english', I'm sure they would be envious of German living standards.
I've also spent quite some time in the Middle East and met some of the most hospitable people ever.
Generalisations really are amateurish.

'clipped' that's why the likes of you & 'damo' are not at the head of leading nations. ALL American Presidents where freely elected, remember a presedent is only a rep of the people who put him there in the first place. He wasn't born a President. So the next time yr in the States & turn on a light switch think about how that is so!

Whatever. You established the entire Arab nation as nuts and fanatical, yet you tell me I'm young and have much to learn. It's people like you that sponge up America's propaganda and allow them to be the most influential country in the western world. You are a joke mate, age isn't directly proportionate to knowledge. Some people think for themselves, and some people let others think for them, add that to your aged knowledge base.

One interesting aspect of american politics is that although the president is freely elected into office, Obama to be the 44th , 6 have been removed from office by an asassin, there have been another 17 unsuccesful attempted asassinations and a total of 90 attempted asassinations if you include former presidents and presidents elect.
Democratic....sort of.

Wally, I'm more than twice Damo's age and I reckon, on this subject, your talking out of your fundamental orifice.
Where is the Arab Nation you talk of?
All the Arabic speaking people I know, and my kids are half Egyptian, are really nice, peaceful people. Many of them are Muslim too, none of them have trouble with my atheist views, or that my sons are non-religious. Regular Aussies really. Not a nut or fanatic amongst them.

When will he ever learn????
Wally, once again you're pitching way out of your depth, as you do on so many threads.
Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth closed and have everyone think you're a fool, rather than open your mouth and confirm it.
