Did someone with access to Vice (sic) President Cheney's plane, Air Force Two try to kill him?
Something is fishy in Maylaysia.
Dick "Shotgun" Cheney was on a talking tour to tout the war(s) and buck up "allies" in Oceana and Asia.
The Moscow Times has this headline:
"Cheney's Plane Fixed During Singapore Stop" but it is ODDLY worded ... especially the explaination from his spokesperson:
"SINGAPORE -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who visited Asia-Pacific allies Japan and Australia last week, left Singapore on Sunday afternoon after his plane underwent minor repairs and refueled.
But on a trip from Sydney wouldn't the plane leave with ...uh... FUEL??
And it seems the diversion was supposed to be a secret but John Howard (Aussie PM) blabbed.
"He was returning to the United States on Sunday. The refuelling stop in Singapore was already scheduled, the White House said. "
and in the same article the whitehouse is already pretending the stop was on the official schedule. BUT IT'S NOT
see the Veep's own press release about the real SCHEDULED stops:

Secret Service Denies Reports Cheney's Plane Diverted
MyFox Washington DC, DC - 18 hours ago
The Secret Service late Saturday denied reports that the plane carrying Vice President Dick Cheney home to the US from Australia was diverted to Singapore. ...
but when you click on the [DC Fox News] link the story has been pulled (!!!):
http://www.myfoxdc.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=2490208&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.11.1
and the headline is replaced with "Vice President's Plane Back in Air After Suffering Electrical Glitch"
so how come the Secret Service, back in the US, denied he even stopped in Singapore???
...and that wasn't the only problem with the plane:
"The Boeing 757 was delayed temporarily at Sydney Airport this morning (Feb. 25) for an unknown reason.
As Air Force 2 revved its engines before proceeding to the runway, it suddenly powered down.
The main door opened and the mobile stairwell was returned to the plane , but it was waved off by security personnel and departed at 9am (AEDT). "

SINGAPORE (AFP) - US officials have been forced to deny reports of an emergency diversion by Air Force 2 on Sunday after US Vice President Dick Cheney wrapped up a week-long visit to Japan and Australia.
If the Singapore stop was "scheduled" why didn't PM Howard know??
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/25022007/323/denies-cheney-plane-grounded-problems.html
"A spokeswoman for the US Consulate in Sydney said Cheney's plane had been scheduled to make a fuel stop in Singapore and was due to depart on time.
The White House also denied Air Force 2 had been diverted.
"The vice president's plane is fine and it is stopping for a regularly scheduled stop to refuel in Singapore," Emily Lawrimore, a White House spokeswoman, told AFP."
another report - definately not a pre-scheduled stopover -

"SINGAPORE -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who visited Asia-Pacific allies Japan and Australia last week, left Singapore on Sunday afternoon after his plane underwent minor repairs and refueled.
"This was the pre-planned, scheduled fuel stop," Cheney's spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said. "We were not diverted," she added, following a comment by Australian Prime Minister John Howard that Cheney's plane had been diverted to Singapore with a problem. McBride said there had been an issue with the electricity on the plane. Because of that, "a call was placed back to Sydney with the status," she said, adding that the electrical problem did not cut off Cheney's ability to communicate with the rest of the world. " |
