Big deal. Thats like saying a rocket was fired at the state capitol while Skeeter was living in California.

Hardly makes Biden a combat vet.

I thought it was odd that we were told Biden was visiting before he went. Normally they’ve announced those visits after they started.

The skinny is that the terrorists are still firing the occasional rockets and mortars at the bases, but it only gets in the news when someody like "Bite Me" is in town.

Buncha smartasses...;-)
