An American military aircraft crashed in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, the U.S. military said, adding that there were no indications so far it'd been brought down by enemy fire.

The spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Col. Sonny Leggett, said that the military plane, a Bombardier E-11A, crashed in the Ghazni province and an investigation of its causes was ongoing.

Bring them all back - because of one plane crash?

The reason we're still there is because we've done just a poor job.

The reason we're still there is because the people YOU vote for don't follow the Constitution or care about the rights of the individual.

As I've explained ad nauseum, it's a jumping-off point when you attack Iran.

You cannot attack Iran, if you don't have troops in Afghanistan.

Can you fish in Norris Lake from your home? No, you can't, you have to be at Norris Lake and if you have any hope of catching fish there, you have to actually stay there for more than 30 seconds.

It's like that, only different.

See? It's not Quantum String Theory but it is Common Sense.

Hmmm, why do I have the eerie feeling, a terrorist attack is likely in the near future and Iran will somehow be involved?
