WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A military airplane carrying four members of the U.S. Congress came under fire over Iraq on Thursday but the plane was not hit and no one was hurt, a spokesman for one of the lawmakers said on Friday.
The C-130 cargo aircraft conducted evasive maneuvers after a nighttime takeoff from Baghdad, said Ken Lundberg, spokesman for Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, who was on the plane.
One wonders if such an experience might lift the "Green Zone of Fog" that seems to envelope recently propagandized congresspeople and allow them to speak honestly about the situation in Iraq.
Wonder no more! From FOX News comes this update: "Despite the scare, Shelby, Martinez and Cramer said they believed the recent increase in troop levels has helped stabilize parts of the country." Just not the parts in and around the "east, west, south and north somewhat" of Baghdad.
