WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney today met with President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, as part of a week-long overseas trip that could bolster the former Massachusetts governor’s foreign policy credentials.

Romney and Karzai discussed terrorist activities along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, according to a statement from Karzai’s office that was cited by the wire service Agence France-Presse.

“The situation in Pakistan is an indicator that terrorists are not only attacking Afghanistan but are causing lots of troubles for Pakistan too,” the statement quoted Romney as saying.

Senior Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom confirmed that Romney and Karzai met, but would not comment on their discussion.

Hey Hamid. Why don't you keep him and his posse. Just send a couple of rugs and a box of figs and we'll call it even.

[Wpin]

I didn’t like when democrats went overseas getting in President Bush’s way and I don’t like Romney doing it either. Even with a democrat as President, it is simply wrong to do.

[pankot]

Romney is not a government official so he should keep his mitts out of it.

[pissant]

Maybe he’ll sell Karzai some used cars

Debate points. During the debates he can say... “When I was in Kabut meeting with the president...”

Bachmann, Palin, et al need to be quietly making some trips over there too so they can reply... “when I was at Firebase X the spec ops guys told me... well, your clearance isn’t high enough, I can’t repeat it verbatim, but...”

[marron]

“Kabut” is code for “Kabul” in marron-speak.

“The situation in Pakistan is an indicator that terrorists are not only attacking Afghanistan but are causing lots of troubles for Pakistan too,” the statement quoted Romney as saying.

My work here is done!

Why in the world would you pick this POS to meet with? Karzai's VP is funneling drug money ($56 Mill) into secret bank accounts in Europe. Karzai is a failure as a leader over there. This guy is not the one to go to to get a straight assessment of the situation. Romney is such an old school political hack. Stay home and try to figure out where you stand on the basic issues first Willard. Foreign policy won't be an issue for you if you cannot explain Romneycare.

Whats a private citizen doing engaging in foreign policy...

Is Romney pulling a white boy’s version of Jesse Jackson ???

[newzjunkey]

I didn’t like when democrats went overseas getting in President Bush’s way and I don’t like Romney doing it either.

Agreed.

[pissant]

Not sure Nana. More likely just a photo op to pretend he has foreign policy chops.

[americanophile]

I'm still stunned by Obama's Hitlerian performance in Berlin...openly campaigning for the presidency in a foreign nation. Berlin mind you. I couldn't stand Obama before, but this outrageous act made me despise him.

This brings what BO really is, into startling focus. How many Americans will wake up and finally see him for what he is?

[Leisler]

Let's see if he comes back 'brainwashed'.

Romney should try to impose gay marriage on the Taliban
like he did on the citizens of Massachusetts without a vote.

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism
or socialism on people has been by way of medicine..."
President Ronald Reagan

Death Panels imposed by Mitt Romney (ObamaCARE=RomneyCARE).

[JSDude1]

I don’t give a...I will not vote for ROMNEY for President so the RINOS can shove it; i’ll go 3rd party first!

Romney has NO interest in winning, just spoiling America and the GOP.

Proof?
Romney threw both Elections 2008 and 2010 to the DNC.

Everyone now knows about Rove and TeamRomney vs the GOP candidates in 2010.
In 2008, the McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney once again
had his backstabbing TeamROMNEY
attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008 to the DNC.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

“Don’t blame me. I was brainwashed.
It’s everyone else’s fault. I’ll promise anything.”

Mitt is SUCH a copy cat. He follows Gov. Palin
on TV, on tour, .... , even to Afghanistan.

His only original thoughts have been RomneyCARE,
his impositions of gay marriage, fisting in elementary schools,
his endless "taxes as fees" even on his victims in NH,
and the BIG DIG coverup.

[ViLaLuz]

Did he fly over with Biden? Maybe they will both stay there.
