| Plane Forced Down Near Bush Ranch |
| 2006-02-05 |
| WACO, Texas — Two fighter jets forced a small plane to land after the pilot flew too close to President Bush's ranch in central Texas while he was spending the weekend there. The Secret Service on Saturday confirmed that the pilot violated restricted air space over the ranch on Friday night, several hours after the president arrived, and was forced to land at nearby Waco Regional Airport. The pilot was interviewed and sent on his way, said Tom Mazur, a spokesman for the Secret Service in Washington. The matter, which appeared to be an inadvertent violation, was referred to the Federal Aviation Administration. |

| #4 ...The pilot was interviewed and sent on his way... This guy must have been a WAP! Had he been an Arab, I doubt he would have been released so quick. The SS just want to be sure he wasn't testing defense perimeters or reaction times! |

| #2 Cindy will take jihadi pilot lessons -- "You only need to learn how to take off" -- when she can't get publicity anymore. Which can't happen too soon. |
