George W. Bush - Flight Risk?

[zbdent]

Could be, if the leaks go all the way up . . .

We already know that he had been a pilot . . . well, at least on paper, if not in an actual plane . . .

1. sure he's a flight risk...

almost unlimited funding, access to a private jet...

and VERY good friends overseas...in say, Saudi Arabia?

6. I say put a tracking device on his ass.....

You know like they do to pets in case they get lost or run away.

His whereabouts could be monitored on the net by all of us.

8. Funny - the first US president with

an ankle monitor - and house arrest . . .

14. saudi arabia??? maybe he and osama bin laden could be

in the same witness protection program.

[Birthmark]

2. Let him go.

Hell, I'll buy his sorry ass a ticket.

3. Too drunk to escape.

:o

4. Good riddance...

suits me...

5. Well we know he's already got his flight suit! n/t

7. Military coup risk

is more likely.

Keep in mind, Rummie is flying around the world on the Doomsday Plane today.

Edit: oops coop=coup

[zbdent]

9. coop - intentional pun?

Well, it fits - he's a chickenhawk . . .

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. Nay,

I'm just a crappy speller.

10. I don't think there is a country that would harbor him.

Think about it, name a country that is not extraordinarily pissed at this moran. And if you can think of one, what kind of security do you think they would grant him during his stay?

No where to run, no where to hide.

I think he is actually more likely to take his own life - seriously.

11. Yes, he'll flee the country

I don't consider Bush a "flight risk." Risk implies that there's a chance of the negative action not occurring.

If the leaks go all the way to Bush, Bush will get a sheet of paper and a pen, write "I Quit!" on it, put the paper on his desk, dump all the silverware into a pillowcase, and buy a plane ticket to Riyadh. (Pickles will not follow; if she goes downtown and starts checking steam grates, she can find hundreds of homeless winos who would make much better husbands than the wino she already has.)

If it's gonna happen, and I have no doubt that it will, it's not a risk. If there was a 50 percent chance Bush wouldn't flee, or even a 10 percent chance, risk would enter into it. But Bush has no intention of dying in prison.

12. Gotta remember...

He BARELY soloed in a F-102 Delta Dagger...

His evals were brutal! He usually flew the trainer version keeping us safe from a Mexican invasion!

Now way he could operate AF-1! :)
