They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

Beckham Bomber flypast cancelled

bbcnews: [edit} David and Victoria Beckham did not request a fly-past by World War II aircraft during a pre-World Cup party at their home, a spokesman insists.

Reports that such a fly-past was to take place had led to claims of insensitivity, given that the competition is taking place in Germany.

... As the aircraft would be flying back at about the same time as the Beckhams' party, the RAF had offered to make a minor detour to open the event.

But a Ministry of Defence spokesman said the fly-past had been cancelled at the request of the Beckhams. Link
