The Three Musketeers go to war
I wonder if they made the three bozos clean the chopper? Kerry served in Vietnam; don’t know how much time he put in the birds.
Senators in Emergency Landing
WASHINGTON (AP) - Helicopters carrying three senior U.S. senators made emergency landings Thursday in the mountains of Afghanistan because of a snowstorm. Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft. No one was injured, according a statement from Kerry’s office. The senators and their delegation returned to Bagram Air Base in a motor convoy, and have left for Turkey.
A small forced march with the troops would have worked wonders for these junketeering clowns.
“After several hours, the senators were evacuated by American troops and returned overland to Bagram Air Base, and left for their next scheduled stop in Ankara, Turkey,” the Kerry statement said. “Sen Kerry thanks the American troops, who were terrific as always and who continue to do an incredible job in Afghanistan.”
GAK! Kerry is shameless.
The lawmakers were on a trip this week that included stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan, where they observed the elections earlier this week.
Kerry and Biden are Democrats from Massachusetts and Delaware, respectively, and the Republican Hagel is from Nebraska.
Hagel, the RINO, isn’t running again, so why is he wasting our money flitting around the third world?

Very dramatic. The “mountains” of Afghanistan. You don’t land choppers in the mountains of Afghanistan, you crash in them.
I doubt it was that bad, but the press will expand the incident to give these three dolts the heroic treatment.
Kerry was muttering “rapers and terrorists and murderers” under his breath to Hagel while Biden was listening in for good quotes.
Oh yeah, Kerry will want a Purple Heart and Silver Star for this ordeal.
Look for soiled underwear to appear on EBay.
I guess these guys were luckier than Ron Brown.
Lazarus, John Forbes Kerry is a a modern guy. No underwear at all; Biden wears a thong stuffed with socks, and Hagel sports olive-drab skivvies. That’s the rumor.
Wait till the news gets out that the bird went down 1000′ from the pad. The motor column went out for them because none of the fools could walk back with the load in the trow.
Load in the trow is a military term meaning, “took two malaria tablets today by accident”.
Really?
That’s what it said in my DOD pamphlet “So You’re Going To Vietnam?”
You got a pamphlet? We were lucky to get C-Rat TP.
Not to prolong this exchange, but what do you think the pamphlet was for?
It wasn’t for reading in the latrine?
What latrine? In Tay Ninh it was a halved fifty-gallon drum with two planks, in full view of everyone. The daily dust storms gave some privacy, though.
How déclassé!
