Bay Area madness

When San Francisco denied a film permit to the Marines to shoot their slow-drill team on the streets of The City That Knows How (To Fuck Over The Military) on the anniversary of 9.11, that was to be expected. It is, of course, the hometown of Nancy Pelosi and other anti-war notables.
But when Oakland International Airport (in my old hometown) forced a charter flight full of 204 Marines and soldiers just back from Iraq to park way the fuck over there and not let them deplane out of misguided 'security' fears (this, after the soldiers went through Customs inspection and the army's quarantine while still overseas), that's just plain wrong. (Actually, "they had to deplane about 400 yards away from the terminal where the extra baggage trailers were located", according to the post on Michelle Malkin's splendid blog, available through my sidebar.)
Typical, but wrong.
These people should be ashamed of themselves.
They won't be, of course, but they should be.
Oakland should also lose its big military shipping base and all the attendant jobs and our tax money, too.
But it won't.

UPDATE (and a big hee, hee, hee to my old home town, the weasels):
(from Michelle Malkin's blog) an announcement to come tomorrow, 16 October, from Rep. John Mica:
During the interview, Mica gave our listeners some “inside information” about the Oakland airport that has yet to be shared officially with the public, but will be Tuesday when Congress reconvenes.
Mica said the Department of Defense and Charter Flight Operators have agreed to halt all flights into the Oakland airport. Sacramento International, according to Mica, will likely be the airport to receive our troop layover flights from now on.
