Real reason why Bush flew AF1 to al-Asad Air Force base

just ask Sens. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., as well as Rep. Bud Cramer, D-Ala. why they think Air Force 1 flew to a remote location west of Baghdad instead of flying into the Green Zone.

WASHINGTON - A military cargo plane carrying three senators, including Florida Republican Mel Martinez, 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.

The fact that Bush had to sneak out of the White House in the middle of the night to make this trip and then he could not even land in the coveted "Green Zone" once he got there tells you just about all you need to know about how well the "Surge" is going.

makes me wonder what was so damned important that they had to send bush right afterwards.

Still wonder about all those billions in cash that got 'lost' right after the invasion.

Snake has hair.
