Imagine a hoax that looks so real that it even makes the Air Force double check its own famous plane.

I wonder how the video looked.

I love it when news reports videos and pictures, yet provides none.

I posted that...Just like Hagar said so

And to anyone who hasn't seen the other topic, I'll repeat, it's a fake.

I dont think so, (in my opinion) its just the aircraft looks to real to be a hoax, or the paint.

Does the fact that it's officially a hoax not persuade you from it's authenticity?

well, knowing Bush and the US governent (dont take it personally if you voted for him) then they would go to any lengths to cover up a breach of security that bad, dont you think?!?!?!  of course they would say its a hoax, so you cant go on that for authenticity, it might actuall be a hoax, but you just cant tell.
if you sould see te nose, and see if the bump on it for the radar is there, then you could ork out if its real or not, but funnily enough you cant.

Wait, you're joking right?  I won't bother refuting the entire post until you say you're serious.

First off, be careful about associating an individual breach of security at a secure military installation directly with the President.  Rummy didn't draw up the security plans.  Bush didn't approve them or anything.  The security of AF1 has nothing to do with the White House-it's the responsibility of the military and the protection detail of the Secret Service.

Also, as I mentioned in the other thread, it's impossible to cover up ANYTHING anymore.  Everything gets out, for better or worse.

of course they would say its a hoax, so you cant go on that for authenticity, it might actuall be a hoax, but you just cant tell.

Sure you can.  In this day and age, AF1 is as secure as the White House, and you don't see anyone jumping fences and tagging the exterior of the Oval Office, do you.  It wouldn't be possible to get that close to the aircraft.

if you sould see te nose, and see if the bump on it for the radar is there, then you could ork out if its real or not, but funnily enough you cant.

That's because it's a private 747 that had one side painted as AF1.  Check the other thread for the full story

i have a poster on my wall of loads of his "bushisms", all his stupid sayings.  sooo funny, i'll post a whole bunch tommoro, as long as it doesnt come under the political category, mods?

Generally, political jokes are only allowed if they apply to ALL politicians.  Bushisms wouldn't.  I'd run it by the mods.

i'll PM one of the mods now, see what hey think

cheers
