How did Condi fly into Berut when the US citizens couldn't be

[napi21]

flown out because the runways had been destroyed?

When I first heard about her going to Berut, I thought perhapse she arrived via helicopter, but MSNBC just showed a pic of her decending the stairs from a plane.

I don't understand.....

1. You saw a plane? I heard she went in by chopper.

2. I don't get it either. on NPR this a.m. I heard

a reporter describe how Condyliar Rice arrived from Cyprus via helicopter.
I recall thinking 'that's nice but what do I care what she flew in?'
Point being, helicopter was specifically mentioned.

3. MSNBC was likely using stock footage, or the wrong footage, or whatever.

Bill O'Reilly was probably in the control room sexually harassing the lady who was supposed to run the tape, she used the wrong one while defending herself from UNWELCOME sexual advances.

:rofl:

4. Chopper

Imagine flying all that way to tell Israel to bomb away.

[CuteNFuzzy]

5. maybe flew by Israeli jet?

And bombed a couple of ambulances and kids along the way?

8. All I can say is the video on MSNBC was a white and blue jet.

It wasn't a wide enough shot to see any logos. I suppose it could have been file footage, but they didn't say anything about that. They were talking about her "flying into Berut" while they showed that footage. It just seemed very strange to me.

9. Any good shoe stores in Beirut?

[leftchick]

10. they asked Israel if they could chopper her in

and Israel said no problem! WE WILL CEASEFIRE FOR DOCTOR RICE ANY FUCKING DAY!

:puke:

[Up2Late]

12. What type of plane? Military or Commercial type?

By "Commercial type" I mean, the State department use smaller jets than the 747, but if it was Military, they can land their jets or planes on dirt runways or maybe off to the side of the destroyed runway, sort of on the shoulder of the runway.

I bet she helicoptered in from Cypress though.

She just pisses me off.

[napi21]

17. Naw, commercial type. As I said, the shot was tight so I didn't see

any logos and couldn't really tell the type of plane. My guess would be a 737 though, just from seeing the nose.

18. If they had the "Right Stuff" to fake the moon landings in 1969, they...

can damned sure fake Condie's jumbo jet landing anywhere they want to land it.
