They are having a run-off elections in June, I think that's the real reason.

The top two vote-getters, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, will be in a runoff slated for June 7, said Independent Election Commission head Ahmad Yusuf Nuristani.

You just know that la Douche’ forced all the troops to shed their weapons before he let them get anywhere near him.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah, right. “Visit the troops.” Bull****!

I wonder if he ever learned that Memorial Day is to honor those that gave their life and Veteran’s Day is to honor those still alive for their service? He didn’t know that a few years ago as I recall.

One of two reasons for this trip:

Avoids having to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns on Memorial Day or they have a good golf course in Kabul.

As with most presidential foreign visits its about something that is not mentioned rather than what is publicized. Nothing new here. For all we know they could be discussing the lack of knuckle ball pitchers in the National league or the plight of the Malaysian airliner. Troops, maybe?

Yea, I’m sure the troops really got excited, NOT. How original. I seem to recall another president making a surprise visit to the troops one Thanksgiving years back. Who was that? Hmmm..... can’t quite remember.

Obama, what a dick.

[onedoug]

He’d like to see the faces of those he would murder.

[mulligan]

Obama the Hypocrite.

[Fast Moving Angel]

How about they keep him? Please?

[Tupelo]

Actually, I think it is a good thing. Maybe five years over due, but at least he is there. Those guy and gals deserve his recognition and more.
For the first time since January 20, 2009, I can say; Thank you Mr President.

Obama has had 170 golf days since he took office.

[R_Kangel]

WOW!!! ... STOP THE PRESSES.....I am impressed .... The prez visited the troops in Afghanistan!!! This is incredible!!! Isn't this a first for any president ever in the history of our country???? This really took some incredible ballz .... I think we should plaster this all over all media outlets for at least a month!!

... said the fawning media for the next few weeks

[austinaero]

Puke. The timing of this has everything to do with damage control in re to the VA situation.

[SoFloFreeper]

Photo opp. He doesn’t give a damn about our overseas people. That was proven at BENGHAZI.

PEOPLE were dying, begging for assistance and Obama went to fundraiser in LAS VEGAS.
