Send 'em up, I'll wait!

I Feel This Thrill Going Up My Leg

  Ric sent me this story, and I owe Chris Matthews an apology, of sorts.  Listening to Obama speak generated his tingle, which I thought, and still do think, is ridiculous.  But this Patriot Room post found my T Spot, so I know it's possible.  I guess pasty faced liberal sycophants dance to different tingles than Americans.  Anyway, here's the setup:

In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute “heads up” if they will be transiting Iranian airspace.

This conversation was recorded on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz, while flying from Europe to Dubai ..
    Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

    Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am not in Iranian airspace, I am in Iraqi airspace.'

    Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

    Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

    Iranian Air Defense Radar: (no response .... total silence)
I owe Scott ... so go over there and say "hi", and check his other links, like -- (HFS)

I have a feeling that all the Republicans and all the TRAVEL AGENTS in the D.C. area would have a complete hissy fit over that! Lots of Reagan Democrats would feel the same way.

Gayle, 'crats no longer care about any impediment to the revenge ride they're on. I will so enjoy seeing them swing. Participate too.

Rename the Airport? No problem. Lets call it the George Washington International Airport located in Reagan District of Columbia.
As for the Marine, his fuck up, he should have just said "send em up, I'll be nice and wait".

That plane is still so sexy. Can't believe I first laid eyes on it in '84 at Beaufort.
