B. Hussein Obama has come and gone on his visit to Jalalabad Air Field in eastern Afghanistan. He landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800, which is more than enough time for any Democrat to check the Natioanl Defense box, and he is now just as qualified as John McCain to speak on all matters related to Operation Enduring Freedom.
During his visit he toured the Task Force (TF) Bayonet 173rd Brigade (Sky Soldiers!) Headquarters and Tactical Operations Center (TOC).
Well, that's the big news from the front line fellow FReepers. Keep up the fight at home and we'll do our part here.
God Bless, Captain (Now Major) Shamrock

Sounds like he spent a lot of time gathering information from the boots on the ground.

How many soldiers did he talk to? How long of an interview could he get with the people on the ground and seeing what is really happening? He stopped for some photo ops and that is all. Hope Katie Couric got a good shot.

I’m betting this trip is going to be a complete failure. Why?? It’s called respect....something you earn.

Two hours and 45 minutes?
Glad to see that he is really going to study the Afghan situation in depth.

Thanks for the report. Do you think he’ll ask for a “close assault badge” for his time spent in the combat zone?

“How many soldiers did he talk to?”
Enough so that his entourage could shoot about 300 campaign photographs.

... landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800,... Just long enough to go to the souvenir shop, get a pressie photo taken, visit the head, make sure the passport was stamped and reboard the plane.

"He landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800" Huh? 2 hours and 45 minutes total? LOL! This has to be a joke, right?
