"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
US Lawmakers' Plane Under Fire in Iraq
Submitted by Melinda Secor on Thu, 2007-08-30 16:00
"A military cargo plane carrying three senators and a House member was forced to take evasive maneuvers and dispatch flares to avoid ground fire after taking off from Baghdad on Thursday night. The lawmakers said their plane, a C-130, was under fire from three rocket-propelled grenades over the course of several minutes as they left for Amman , Jordan ." Well, they keep saying "we" in reference to the fighting over there...about time they took a little of the heat.
