With timing that could not be more horrible for George Bush, one of our Chinook helicopters with 17 service people aboard went down in Afghanistan yesterday, the news hitting the wires here about 1100 pst. All through the day the status of our men was "unknown." As of this morning, 19 hours later, their fate is still "unknown."
Every family of every person serving in Afghanistan instantly worried and is still worried sick this very second about their loved ones. It's been an extremely difficult 19 hours for them.
