Scotland: BUSH RUNS FROM A BIG FLUFFY CLOUD

[Robbien]

PRESIDENT George Bush fled to his bomb-proof bunker when a major security alert was triggered ... by a freak cloud.

Vice president Dick Cheney was airlifted out of Washington and snipers took up position when the alarms were sounded.

An anti-aircraft missile battery was raised into firing position on a rooftop close to the White House and a Black Hawk helicopter was scrambled. But they saw nothing except clouds.

The big scare happened on Wednesday when the cloud triggered radar monitors on the domestic events network, the system designed to protect Washington from attack.

. . .

The cloud was first detected about 30 miles south of Washington and moving quickly.

1. oh mother nature-playing a little joke te he

[KoKo]

2. hmmm...didn't our Press report it was a small unidentified aircraft which

violated the airspace? I guess they had to cover up the "Big Cloud" thingy so the Chimp wouldn't look like a total coward or that our "monitors" didn't look like idiots all this time and billions of dollars after 9/11. :banghead:

3. We probably spent an inconceivable amount of money on that system,

too. If it really can't tell a cloud from an aircraft, we wasted even more money than we thought.... :eyes:

6. What a fine, brave man...

:sarcasm:

7. Russia reacted to a 'dense cloud' on their radar on the same day

and Blair's plane got struck by lightning.

Hmmmm....

Ok, not sure the blair thing is related, but....stealth weapons being tested by china or someone? Why did Russia see a fast plane coming in from Lithuania, and then say no, it was a cloud.

Also, the skies in DC were totally clear where they said that cloud was!

9. Maybe God's pissed at these bastards too.

8. He sure doesn't have much faith in his god, does he?

Screens his audiences, builds a fortress around himself, has cities shut down so he can travel through 'safely' - what a weenie.

What's he scared of? He obviously doesn't believe his own lies about everybody being 'safer' since he stole office.
