Whats the real reason they didn't tell * about the plane in Wash airspace?

[undeterred]

Were they afraid he would tell them to shoot it down?

1. They were embarrassed he'd tell them to ask Cheney

If you're the Secret Service, wouldn't you rather maintain your illusion that the man you defend (supposedly with your life - I hope none of the poor bastards has ever to prove that) can actually lead the country?

2. He's an after thought.

The people who are really controlling the power wanted him to stay out of the picture until 1) they've controlled the situation, and 2) they've prepared a script for him.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Because he is a puppet...merely there for the "Good Christian Man"

look. He gets all geeky over "Big, story, Texas man" public appearances...while someone else runs the show. Did you see his little blinky eyed thing last week with Putin??? Took me right back to the debates. :hi:

4. "depends"

supply was low.

walmart has sent 2 truckloads to the WH, the Wolf's Lair (formerly "camp david") and the pigfarm; just for such emergencies.

5. He's a suit, a puppet, a figure head, a spokesman

Totally irrelevant.

6. They knew it would be an exercise in futility.

They knew by the time he made a decision (after he shit his pants) that it would be too late anyway so they bypassed the Crawford village idiot.

7. afraid he might soil himself in public

[Jara sang]

8. Because he already knew about it.

It was an exercises. Gauruns. If this story doesn't sink about him not being informed they will come out with this.

[DS1]

9. Because he's an asshole fuck?

I could be wrong.

[undeterred]

13. Ding Ding Ding!!!!

We have a winner! :applause: :toast: :applause: :toast: :applause: :toast:

10. As McCllelan said, "protocols" were followed.

Apparently, after his deer-in-the-headlights bunnypants performance on 9/11, the "protocols" are as follows: In case of emergency, don't tell the dumb sonofabitch anything! That way he can't fuck things up.

[Redstone]

11. Exactly. He was out in the open, with no place to run and hide, and

the panic attack would have been way too loud, embarrassing, and hard to keep from the public.

[YankeyMCC]

12. And that resounding ring you hear

is the nail being hit on the head.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. That's it! They don't dare tell him about anything emergency
