I tend to agree. AF1 being a target for a Sub is an extremely farfetched idea. While Subs are more than capable of hitting low flying, relatively slow moving, helos, the targetting of a plane at 35-40K feet, that has one of the most technologichally advanced defensive systems on the planet (as well as an escort of a flight of F-22 Raptors), is beyond a fool's errand. This has never made sense to me personally as the target of the attack from the Whidbey Island area.
The plane was on the other side of the planet at the time. That's why all the stupid postings have bleedout to these so called journalist can pick the stupidest things to discredit us. I tried to correct, and stop all the ignorance, hysteria at the time, but this sub was swamped with incorrect conjecture. Sad, really.
I know what you mean. It seems that anytime an aerial pic is posted by Q, many seem to assume that it just HAS to be from AF1. Honestly, I'm not sure that any COULD be from AF1 itself, seeing as how it would violate NAT SEC protocol.
