WASHINGTON (AP) — A helicopter carrying three senior U.S. senators has made an emergency landing in Afghanistan.
Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft., according to Jon Summers, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The lawmakers are on a trip this week that includes stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan.
Kerry and Biden are Democrats from Massachusetts and Delaware, respectively, and the Republican Hagel is from Nebraska.

What the heck are congress critters doing on this trip. They can’t speak on policy, so why go. Leave the troops to do their job.

They are on a DNC fund raising trip — the Taliban have lots of cash.

Hmm I hadn’t considered they might be in remote or even unfriendly territory, was thinking of an emergency landing at an airfield.
