I've read several of your posts. I've been flabbergasted at the stupidity of your rationale and questions concerning the wise actions of my President in the hours following the attack. I've also seen in your words the taint of ridicule and your disrespect for my President. Maybe you are one of the diehard supporter of the former first impeached and his style of bringing disgrace on the presidency.

What facts were known at the time of the attack. Well about what could be the scope and size of the attack, very little.
What else was known. The FBI traitor has most likely passed detailed information about normal Presidential survival plans and those plans may have been passed to the attackers.
The known scope of effect of this attack was like a Pearl harbor in loss of life.

So you say duhhhhh, could the Airforce not protect AF1. Well protect AF1 from what? If one cannot define the threat then only stupid people would suggest ignoring threats and proceeding along normal protocol.

Now as to returning to Washington. The areas around Washington would be wisely subjected to a wide area comprehensive security sweep to make certain that the helicopters that carry the President back to the White House could travel a very secure route. This is first level common sense.

In the face of such a coordinated wide spread attack that had never happened before the caution of several hours is the only responsible course of action that should have taken place. Any who question this as reasonable are either dumber than a bag of hammers or have the broken glass of hate paining there mind prodding them to strain to find a reason for ridicule.

Your feelings and ignorance of what is reasonable caution is what drives you to make an ass of yourself.
