U.S. Jets Could Patrol Vancouver During Olympics: Norad

Posted on Monday, July 07 at 13:28 by NAUWATCH

American fighter jets will be involved in security operations during the Vancouver Olympics by keeping a close eye on airspace in the region, the head of the North American Aerospace Defence Command said Saturday.

Gen. Gene Renuart, the commander of Norad, said his agency will play a role in providing security during the 2010 Winter Games.

    I hope they do a better job of protecting the airspace than they did on 9/11/01.

    The Police State Olympics.

    The title of the article says that U.S. jets could patrol Vancouver and the first sentence says that they will. The Police State Olympics indeed.

    The very best a police state can do for an Olympics is to parade around corporate sponsored drug users who jump around as fast as their artificially stimulated muscles can make em go.

    No thanks, I'd rather drill a hole in my head than watch that kind of profiteering crap paid for by stolen tax loot.

    Well they did a pretty good job of blowing up the entire WTC complex using only two planes and tons of explosives while blaming it on unseen cave dwelling Islamic extremists, so who knows they may do a fine job blowing something else up during the Olympics, and if they do, it'll be the only event worth watching - from a good distance of course.

    So no thanks, I'll feel a lot more protected without all of this phony "security" paid for by stolen tax loot.

    US jets are all over us all the time anyway. Several of them today. We're right under the crossing point of N-S and E-W flights.

    So, what the hell is the news in this ?

    It's just a reminder of how much we apparently enjoy being peeons.
