The Story Behind Biden’s Emergency Helicopter Landing in Afghanistan
First it was Hillary telling us about her near-death experience in Bosnia. Now Biden is telling us how he was forced down in his helicopter 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.”
Wow, it sounds like Biden & Co. were in big trouble in Afghanistan. I wonder what happened?
In February 2008, Biden — along with Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. — was on a chopper that made an emergency landing in the mountains of Afghanistan.
A snowstorm had forced them down.
No one was injured, and the Associated Press reported at the time that “the senators and their delegation returned to Bagram Air Base in a motor convoy, and left for Turkey.
Kerry joked, “We were going to send Biden out to fight the Taliban with snowballs, but we didn’t have to do it…Other than getting a little cold, it was fine.”
It looks like the walking gaffe machine, Joe Biden, is at it again. Between this and his continued propagation of a thoroughly debunked rumor that the person who killed his wife and child was driving drunk , it makes you wonder where Biden will strike next.
