Why is Tony Snow encouraging attacks on small airports in the US?
Why is Tony Snow encouraging attacks on small airports in the US?
by Chris in Paris · 6/30/2007


Considering the attack on a smaller airport today in Glasgow, I am a loss to understand why Tony Snow would make such a careless statement in response to the situation.

President Bush's spokesman, Tony Snow, said some airports in the United States would tighten security in response to the events in Britain but the terror alert status would not change.

"The most you're going to see right now is some inconvenience — some increased inconvenience of airline passengers, more likely at large airports than small," Snow said.


Didn't some of the 9/11 attackers start their day at a small airport in Maine? There was no reason to provide such information in response to Glasgow and I believe Snow has created a very dangerous situation for Americans with his poorly worded response today. Even his dismissive "increased inconvenience" remark shows just how the White House lacks seriousness about fighting terror and protecting Americans.

2. Why did they invade Iraq? It had nothing to do with 9/11
Why did they ignore the PDB memor of August 6 which warned of the 9/11 attacks

because they don't really care

4. Not to defend Snowjob at all but he was just stating the obvious
that's obviously no secret to evildoers...disrupting operations at a large airport would clearly affect more flights and people. Maybe I'm missing something here...?

7. More people at larger airports, hence whenever there's tighter security
there's more of an inconvenience. Seems to make sense to me. :shrug:

10. Damn Tony. Thank You very much. I live in Middletown, PA (HIA)
Why didn't he finish that up with, so your best bet is to attack a smaller airport. What a fucking MORON.
