Weird. Secret Service dispatches fighters to follow a small plane
Weird that we can dispatch fighters to protect Bush, but we couldn't manage to get fighters in the air on 9/11, even though the FAA knew the planes were hijacked, and standard operating procedure is to scramble the fighters.
And I didn't know the Secret Service could dispatch fighters. That seems even weirder. Brings up the picture of fighters strafing the Manhattan streets outside the Republican National Convention ....
The Secret Service had to dispatch a military jet Wednesday in northeast Ohio to track a small plane that took off while President Bush was in Cleveland.
