The lavishly-furnished custom Boeing 727 airliner (727PX) which ferried Senator John McCain on four occasions during his Presidential run in 2000 also flew Saudi Royals out of the U.S. right after 9/11, carrying an entourage of Saudi Royals from Las Vegas to London six days after the 9/11 attack in a controversial operation later scrutinized by the 9/11 Commission.

The 727 figures in the current tempest over his relationship with female lobbyist Vicki Iseman, who provided and flew with McCain on the plane.

With hundreds of air charter companies and airliners to choose from, the Saudis chose a company that owns “Worship Ministries” and Christian Network, Inc., turning to Paxson Communications, a “Christian broadcaster” which owned the plane, to make its corporate jet available to spirit the Saudi princes and their entourage out of the U.S. six days after 9/11.

The Saudi Royal party made good their escape from Las Vegas on an airliner sporting a Christian symbol of peace, a dove, on it’s tail, an intriguing detail and compelling human interest story—Muslims flying Air Jesus—that has to date been reported nowhere but in the MadCowMorningNews.

Go figure.


"Red-carpeting the entourage"

At the time, the controversial evacuation of rich Saudis prompted charges of special treatment and inadequate screening of passengers by the FBI.

The FBI, of course, denied it, but in uncharacteristically colorful language.

“I say baloney to any inference we red-carpeted any of this entourage," an FBI official wrote in a 2003 internal note.

“Red-carpeting the entourage” may be the least of it.

The McCain lobbying scandal has been called as “silly as a blonde joke,” and an “assault on working women,” although the nature of the ‘work’ being engaged in by the working women under assault was left unspecified.

But it may not be as silly as it appears on the surface.

You can learn a lot about the players in political scandals these days by remembering the catch phrase from the old TV show Fantasy Island, which each week had an improbably-dressed midget in a tuxedo calling out:

“De plane, boss! De plane!”

Lobbyist Vicki Iseman, McCain's very own “Campaign Suicide" Blonde, nestled cozily beside Big John McCain on a 727 tricked out to suit the garish tastes of Saudi Royal Princes.

A year later this same plane will become one of six flying Saudi evacuation flights which would be scrutinized by the 9/11 Commission.

The connection between the Saudi Royal Family and a company that owns “Worship Ministries” and Christian Network, Inc. is not immediately apparent.

Well lets see here for a second,,, the saudis were flown out of the country because of the backlashed the government felt was surely going to happen. they didnt want another japanese incident like right after pearl harbor.. a fact supported by your own posting here saying they "escaped"

funny how you mention johnny's plane ride but not the lavishness of the edwards or gore or pelosi or obama or clinton. whom have all done similar things and are still doing similar things..

would love to know all the dirt on all the yayhoo's but we dont and are likely to never know. like fienstien and pelosi investigations into defrauding the government and supplying their contractor husbands with huge multi million dollar contracts without going through the normal vetting processes. but thats another article all together.

Fear of a backlash? well I suppose they have to say somthing.........realy how could any average redneck get within ten feet of anyone in the royal family of Saudi Arabia? do you think they are in line at Mcdonalds? shopping at wallmart? Of course not .they are surounded by hired goons and liveing in Luxary inside a gated community.somewere inexcesable to any common folk.

you think?

the ones that were in vegas were partying it up and gambling at the casinos, i think many common folk do that as well, i know i have.

hired goons, yeah maybe. but most of them are employeed by US companies that hire out body guards.

and have to say something? what like they were here in an effort to oversee the operation to bring the towers down? come on man...

well if you consider the fact that 90% of the hijackers were sauidis at least according to the commision report.....they were much more likely suspects than say..........SADDAM HUSAIN

again saddam husain did not live up to the cease fire agreement

which is what lead to the invasion of iraq

was that the stated reasone for going into Iraq or was something else implied?

On September 12th the day after the attacks on US soil, after all flights had been grounded only one flight was allowed out of the country and that was the aforementioned plane carrying members of the BinLadden family.....

I dont need to say anymore.

here is a article about their non compliance

http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iraq/1992/920311-219002.htm

another one

Recalling that its resolution 678 (1990) authorized member states to use all necessary means to uphold and implement its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to resolution 660 (1990) and to restore international peace and security in the area,

oh yea???? Is this the new WMDs type propaganda we are supposed to swallow now???? Please some people will swallow anything No offense of course adj

Iraq war illegal, says Annan





The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.
He said the decision to take action in Iraq should have been made by the Security Council, not unilaterally.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3661134.stm

so we waited from 1990 to 2001 almost 2002 to act on this resolution???

And the league of nations did nothing to stop hitlers advance of power either. the u.n. is a worthless group whose time is done. It has become nothingmore than another money grubbing, coruct, power hungry organization

So wait? Your getting your information on the cease-fire from the same place we got our information on the WMD's/millions of dollars towards terrorism/allowing terrorists to hideout. Oh and don't forget they told us this too, killer bee's are coming/AID's is from Africa/our borders are under attack/Don't worry.

Sorry but I'm not really going to jump to believe a word that the government says anymore, I would rather search out my own proof on the matter...of which I have not found any at this time.

some people want to tidy everyting up and say that one thing had to do with another when in fact they were miles apart.

saddam had the unfortunate problem of being a mass murdering tyrrant who thumbed his nose up to more than 17 different resolutions from the UN that you love so much dragooon, if we didnt hold him accountable to one of those why would you be so damn mad at the US for not signing a damned treaty. cant have it both ways sweetheart. Oh billy boy threw some rocks at them a couple of times but nothing serious, for shooting down our planes in the no fly, dont remember the year 94 or 5 maybe...
say didnt the clinton administration have bin laden in captivity once on a runway somewhere and decided to let him go... i knew it, bill cliton conspired to bring down the towers and kill all those people in an attempt to get his wife elected president and vicariously himself as well. (see how silly making stupid accusations looks)

binladen, screw binladen he's either dead now or wacking something while sitting in a pile of something else, his ties are dead, his little group of wanna bes are either dead or hiding or caught, there havent been anymore attacks on the US since then because of the actions taken bythis government and administration(like it or not it is a true fact) plots have been uncovered and squashed, you get to live in your peaceful little living rooms and watch some other country get torn apart instead of your own and still you b1tch, i dont get it, your safer now then before, and your still b1tching about it.

Its obviouse this nation would have been much better served had we let the UN make the call

What about the other countries that are still being attacked today by al qaeda and the likes? Oh as long as we're safe, well I am glad we are safer but I do feel terrible that other countries are still being attacked and we don't really put much effort into security resources there...oh wait all our forces are in Iraq, shame really as we could make some really worthwhile allies in this mess if we move a bit of help their way.

and we would have been better off finishing the job in 91, and we would have been better off not backing either iran, or iraq in their conflict, and we would have been better off not letting iran hold our hostages so long, and we would have been better off not atempting the bay of pigs. ou know there are a ton of things in hindsight that we all should have, or should not have done. Just because you sit here on an internet dating site, and spew your hatred for bush, and republicans in general, does not make you better than anyone else. History may remember some people for mistakes, but at least they made a decision when it was crunch time. Will history remember you, or me?

The decisions to me were made along the lines of what is good forthe oil industry and defence contractors not what is good for america and I think history if it accurate and not some dumbed down american version will state that the Iraq war wa the begining of the end of america as a nation that upholds democracy
