This is Barack Obama's first trip to Afghanistan. But it's not his first trip to the region. He says he visited Pakistan in the 80s with a college friend.

Just listened to Julie Kurtz (sp) - She made me ill. You see Sissy Boy sitting around a table with the local politicians and the US Military are at the end of the table.

According to Julie, “These are powerful images”. Please. This is OB’s first trip to A-stan since this WOT began almost seven years ago. He has been Jr. Senator of Illinois for about four years. I am NOT impressed with Sissy Boy's World Trip in Search of His “Gravitas”.

As a member of Congress, he could’ve flown there anytime. The timing of this trip is suspicious.

I’ll also point out that Michael Moore made a movie about the Iraq war without ever visiting Iraq. He relied solely on a second unit crew; a crew that managed to interview Nick Berg before he was kidnapped and had his head cut off but somehow neither of those details were not “important enough” for inclusion in his little film.

Keep him there, please.

He fits in much better with the local populace.

5 hours the New York Times purports.
FReepers on the ground note 2 hours 45 minutes, with Obama fleeing, just before the call to Islamic prayer.

The FOX babe said no less than three times how “powerful these pictures are.” Huh? He was sitting in a square with generals and muslims around the room and he was just listening. Who knows what they were telling him?

This “quickie trip into danger” sounds akin to Mr. Dukakis climbing into the tank for a spin around the block....

And should be “spun” as such....

Obama’s idea of security is relinquishing American sovereignty (and money).

OK, I’m getting lost here. How can Obama be at Jalalabad for all of two hours and forty-five minutes, while at the same time visiting with the Gov. at Nangarhar for five hours?

We have eyewitness from a Freeper present to verify the time at Jalalabad. Wondering about the NYT representation on this trip.

OK, NOW IT IS MAKING SENSE. The part I missed is that “No Reporters Accompanied Obama to Afghanistan”, so then the Obama team is saying to the NYT whatever they want apparently, and the NYT is dutifully reporting what they are told by the Obamamites.

Obama’s Muslim homecoming tour.

Aid and Comfort to our enemies. Did he place a roadside bomb or just give them a warm hug.

Lightweight, empty suit, sissy poseur. He visited under the blanket of protection provided by our military and gets cover by the absence of news reporters. He can say anything he wants with no verification or witnesses. What a phony!

IMHO, B Hussein is a dollar short & a drink behind with this visit to Afghanistan. He is trying to look "Presidential", but once again he looks foolish.

For years the left have said Afghanistan has been "forgotten" by President Bush. Now after all these years B Hussein decides to go & visit for the first time????

Give me a friggin break!

***Mr. Obama touched***

They worship the ground he walks on. Not in a good way.
