A C-130 aircraft carrying an Alabama senator and congressman was fired on this evening as it was flying from Baghdad to Amman, Jordan.
The airplane was carrying Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., and Rep. Bud Cramer, D-Huntsville, and two other senators.
Three rockets were shot at the plane and were "near misses," Shelby said in a telephone interview. He said the pilot took evasive maneuvers to avoid the rockets. The plane landed safely in Amman at about 4 p.m. central.
"I was looking out the window, a little small window, and I saw a shell or something," Shelby said. "And then I see a flare. Our plane started maneuvering and changing directions and shaking all around."
I didn’t know Pelosi was in the mideast again!
a couple of self-styled war heroes, or at least, experts on Iraq now?
mideast=middleast
But it’s in Breaking News, Mr. Drescher.
AGAIN?
I wonder if Kaite will go now?
So what did the Clinton’s have against these guys?

ROTLMAO! I had NO idea you two were married...:)
If I thought a Democrat knew how to aim and fire a weapon, I would suspect a Sheehanite of shooting, intentionally missing, and giving these jokers face time on TV.
Frankly I’m too lazy to look. Does anyone know if these birds were “for it before they were against it” or “against it before they were for it” or what?
Doesn’t matter, Fran.
