Again Tombong is attempting the same nauseating obfuscations regarding the
President's arrival. It is true that the Presidents stipulated time of
arrival was for 7.00am Gambian time and good old Tombong did say that, he
however  purposefully omitted to say that the President instead sneaked in at
2.30 in the morning. In an attempt to explain away such a cowardly action by
a sitting head of state Mr Saidy wants us to believe "the pilot gained time"
. Just exactly how does a pilot gain time? Aircraft departure and arrival
times are fairly routine and predicable especially for relatively short
commutes like flying from Cuba to Gambia.. This is simply a calculated
fallacy. Here is what happened exactly: The Presidents Aircraft  landed at
2.30am. As soon as the plane came to a stop at the tarmac, all lights were
temporarily shut off  and the President quickly got into a waiting vehicle
and sped away. That's it!  This is from a source at the airport. You will
realise Mr Saidy did not tell us about the President's usually rumbling
motorcade that routinely choke the pothole filled streets any time he comes
from the airport. What has gotten to Tombong Saidy? The guy is worse than a
Soviet era propaganda commissar. He does not seem to realise that theirs is a
lost cause. Even more I don't know why he feels the need spin the kinds of
fanciful tales to members of this list. This is not GRTS!
