The Story Behind Biden's Emergency Helicopter Landing in Afghanistan (Someone is Pulling a Kerry)
ABC Blog ^ | 9/22/08 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 09/22/2008 4:19:50 PM PDT by IllumiNaughtyByNature

"Ladies and gentlemen, where are we now? Where are we now?" Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said to the National Guard Association today, talking about the war in Afghanistan.

"If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me," Biden said. "Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are."

Biden said that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., "says he’ll follow them to the gates of hell. You don’t have to go to hell. Just go to Pakistan. Just go to that area. That superhighway of terror that exists between Afghanistan and Pakistan."

We hadn't heard before about Biden's helicopter being forced down, so we did some Googling.

IT WAS A FREAKING SNOW STORM !!!

“Biden said”

He just waited long as he could, he had to embellish his story.
Hopefully it will take him and Obama a few days to get out of this one.
A smart man with no common sense.
Doesn't he know about Google????

Yes, and Algore and John F-ing Kerry are both Vietnam vets I believe. Bin Biden has to have some type of “war story” to tell.

Wow, Biden knows more than all the assets of the US and numerous other countries’ intelligence services. Amazing. Why doesn’t he just clue in the SF and they will go get him?

Maybe O-Biden doesn't know the difference, from his vantage point under the seat.

“Why doesn’t he just clue in the SF and they will go get him?”

Since he knew they were there why didn’t he just take of them while he was there?

With Kerry, Biden and Hagel onboard, the Taliban either served them hot tea or figured it was a waste of munitions to off them.

I believe GX magazine (The Army National Guard Magazine) had a little story about this a few months ago. No mention of enemy fire, in fact if I recall there was a picture of the National Guardsmen with the Senators in front of the Helicopter. Something that I don’t think they would of done under fire.

I guess Biden don’t think National Guardsmen read their own magazine.
