Every other account I read earlier of the exchange presented it as completely tongue-in-cheek. It’s bizarre to come here and see it presented as if Clinton was really wondering about Area 51. I hate to say it, but I think the whole article was an excuse to link to all the other articles written about Area 51 and drum…

So a joke (of typical politician comedic-cred) is now being extrapolated to absolute truth in your title? Not a Hillary fan huh.. this is tabloid level crap though

A real Chrysler tank.

Give him a break, maybe he thought that the Direct Ungravitated Missile Bombardment Attack Satellite System was already public knowledge.

“crashing into what he says is a truck carrying a nuclear warhead “

Close enough for Sarah Palin to see?

That is not going to happen. Way to provocational and there is no urgent need to do so. The Chinese are way out of line with this position on their territorial claims and everyone knows it, including them.

We used to play this chicken game with the Russians back in the ‘80’s. We were careful to turn off radars and to aim weapons down to the deck to preclude any excuse for a “misunderstanding” and I thought both sides, at least the men on the ships if not the men back at headquarters, pretty-well understood the game.

Am I doing this right?

Uh. YES. Why do dinks like you have to be such a-holes about stuff like this? No really why? The plane was clearly 10 years too soon, jet liners were not common until late 1960s, and it was made at a time when very few had money or resources to expend on luxury air flight.
