KABUL, March 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Kabul on Sunday for an unannounced visit to Afghanistan, his first trip to the country since becoming president and commander-in-chief of the U.S.-led war effort.
Obama's brief trip was expected to include a one-on-one meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, an expanded meeting with Karzai's cabinet and U.S. officials, and a speech to American military personnel.
A White House official, speaking before the trip, said Obama wanted to get an "on the ground update" about the war from General Stanley McChrystal, the U.S. and NATO commander, as well as Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador.

Tell you mom that silence is not golden. In this case it’s acquiescence.
***The muslim apostate is in Kabul? For him that’s a rather bold move. ***
Not bold at all. The Muzlems know he is on an undercover jihadi mission pretending to be a Christian.
I just talked to hubby who is IN Kabul right now and he didn’t know anything about it. Must have been an invitation-only “rally.”
Is that supposed to be "seek out troops" because the military ran and hid when they heard he was coming? or Is that supposed to be "see our troops" because he needs some military props to make him look good after the healthcare debacle?
This picture is worth a thousand words.
Tell me it’s not photoshopped.
The concept of AF1 puking up some indigestible matter came to mind while viewing that pic...
My guess is he's trying to earn some brownie points because he knows people are pissed off about this health care bill.
All week I have had the feeling that Rush was in Afghanistan.
Mark Davis said to wish Rush get’s back safely.
LOL!
Rush Limbaugh is out until mid-week, on a trip that supposedly took him “15-17 hours each way” ... I wonder if he went to the war zone again (and -0- got wind of it).
With the current rules of engagement, they may have to call the Sec of Defense to see if it is OK.
Kay Hagen Communist-NC is on a fact finding mission over there. It’s called A FACT she’s scared to answer the voters about her “commie” stance on healthcare
When will we be bombarded with pics of the troops he visited with? And how many of them will be ordered to meet him?
“Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”
I’m biting my tongue....
I think a lot of our leaders are afraid to face the voters at home this Lenten season.
Sandy Berger notified Clinton when Osama Bin Laden fled to Afghanistan. We had Bin Laden in the crosshairs and Clinton let him go. Clinton’s intelligence knew that Bin Laden was a serious threat and a terrorist. Remember what he did in Sudan? Clinton did nothing and most that have followed the war in Afghanistan are aware of the terrorists breeding grounds in that area. Clinton was too.
Also, as you recall the WTC was hit in April of 93? the work of Bin Laden?
He chooses Palm Sunday to go to a Muslim Country......astounding.
Betcha the lamestream media doesn’t report twice as many troops have been killed under Obama’s time...oh no but they will be cheerleading his sudden trip there....
And there are other photos that reveal the same thing.
They know exactly who this anti-military punk is, and they don't like him one single bit.
