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?

Letting this individual go to Iraq for any foreign policy work is ridiculous. He cares less about the Iraqis. His political platform of rotted wood and bent nails is “Get the troops out of Iraq.”
