I'm glad they are all safe.

I've been worried for a minute that something "strange" would happen to

Glad senators are OK, well, maybe I could careless about Kerry. But Biden and Hagel have my good wishes.

Why would Obama go to either war zone? After all, Michelle-with-the-pants, hasn't been proud of the deeds of her country till two days ago, she probably wouldn't let him go, But, then again Obama would not go, he wants to wage his own war by bombing Pakistan. God have mercy on this country.

I would have thought they would split them up into at least two helecopters. - Wouldn't want to lose the whole kitty.
Joe Biden for President!

Charlotte,

He has already been there. Do some research before you post.

Obama should be there to change.

We should let the troops and generals on the ground call the moves, not politicians wasting tax payer money on these useless trips.

I may not agree with much of the politics of these three, but still thank them enormously for spending time with our troops in Afghanistan. Even if I disagree with a politician's take on the war, it is far easier to respect their opinion if they go there. To that end, while not there right now, Joe Lieberman is the champion of them all.

Yeah, it's a good idea for Presidential candidates and well known politicians to go over there and risk more of our young men and womens lives (as the soldiers would be asked to protect them from harm) just for a photo op…that sounds more like something only Bush, Cheney and Hillary would do!

I would like the pilot pick up senators Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel only. Leave John Kerry…he didn't study hard so he need go to Iraq.

what a shame

Oh, a democrat was on the plane? Joe Biden. I like Joe Biden a lot!
I basically like the Democrats, still.

I'm glad they're okay. It's ashame that people would attempt to mix their political beliefs with an almost tragedy, expecially when some of these people have obviously not done their homework.

To Charlotte,

Obama will go to Iraq and Afganastan. He is not a chicken!!!!

Obama has been to Iraq and Afghanistan you shill…

The mountains! Wow! Lucky they're all okay. Wow . . .

Thank goodness Senators Biden and Kerry are okay .. and the other one that I never heard of before too.

Obama '08

Barack Carter!

Thanks God, they are all OK.

Three great Americans, I am glad that they are alright.

Never heard of Obama going to Iraq or Afganastan, too dangerious. Stay here and still miss 40% of the senate votes.

Big friggin' deal. Where's the news story every time a soldier, or a member of the military has to make an emergency landing.

All's well, that ends well!

Thank God they are okay.

Vicki Isema,n she looks like McCain current wife This may or may not be true let's hold our judgement. Sometimes we can be self destructive just by the company we keep.

I'm glad they're all alive!

GO OBAMA!

I do hope that they rest awhile and visit with our troops.
The elite of the world (with the taxpayers money) are
egotistical big shots.. Are we supposed to feel bad for them
or WHAT?

This sounds like the beginning of a terrible 1980's movie: war vet senators are forced to land in hostile territory and relive past battles. Kerry revets back to his swift boat days, turns into Rambo and defeats the Taliban, single handedly. Afterwards, he writes a constitution; war over. Glad to hear everyone is alright.

Three senators I have or would have voted for on any given presidential ticket.

Sen. Hagel had been delivering what should have been the Democratic response to W's hogwash for years. I hope Hagel resurfaces in somebody's cabinet, preferably Obama's. Heck, let's get Biden into a cabinet position too … poor Dick Lugar, can't believe he's had to put up with 8 years of this expletive.

Am glad to hear all are safe and sound.

Obama/Hagel '08 -the real dream ticket.

I am also glad everyone is save.

Clinton - 08

I'm glad all of these guys are okay.
Regardless of their party affiliation, they are human beings (just like the rest of us… except for Hillary supporters]) whose lives are priceless.

Hillary supporters… just kidding We have to unite.
Just a little humor

Obama '08

I am grateful they are all okay.

I'm glad Hagel's ok.

Only republican i ever liked.

Obama 08
