The Director of the White House Military Office just apologized for NYC plane incident

[jenmito]

According to MSNBC, he said he approved of the "mission" last week and takes full responsibility for the trouble it caused. :eyes: I looked up who he is, and his name is LOUIS CALDERA: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/whmo/director/

1. It's nice to have someone step up at least

we haven't seen that for 8 years.

2. True. n/t

3. Shit. He can claim to be a boomer.

Won't you X generationers take this guy off our hands. After the last 8 years boomers are carrying one hell of a load already.

4. If I'm not mistaken,

this is the second post today demonstrating your age bias. What, exactly, would you recommend doing with those of us in the Boomer and over age range?

5. I recommed we weep together. I'd love the f-ups to be in a different age group

than mine.

6. Sounds like a plan to me!

Sorry, I obviously misunderstood your posts. My bad!:blush: :hi:

7. unless the mission was classified, WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

8. What I find interesting is that it really wasn't the WH's fault

It was the officials of NYC that neglected to tell their citizens of what the Air force told them about the operation.

Now THAT's accountability....they are taking blame for something that really wasn't their fault. The fault for panicking the citizenry seems to fall in the laps of NYC officials...at least from where I stand.

9. I thought the article said the FAA told the NYC officials not to tell the

citizens or others about this. But I don't think that's Obama's fault. I don't even know if he KNEW what the director of the WH military office was doing. :shrug:

ETA-"The Police Department is referring inquiries about the flight that invoked terror fears in New York this morning to the Federal Aviation Administration, claiming the federal agency directed local authorities not to disclose details about it."

that NYC police knew about these flights.
