By Jeff Mason
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.

Bagram is wall to wall with people packing weapons.
He'll be whisked out very quickly after sunset.
It's that or disarm thousands upon thousands of soldiers, others, etc.
No one other than his security detail, some brass and a few cherry-picked others (for photos) will get to see him.

Set off my troll alarm too, mojitojoe.......BIG time.
The photos were widely dispersed from that speech of Obama's where the troops were clearly disgusted.
Thanks again for posting the others (I couldn't remember where mine were :).

Did they give them all cameras this time like they did in Iraq?
Or did they just hand pick them after they asked if they voted for Obama?

Let's see, what are the possibilities? 1. Trump Rush 2. Searchlight and Sarah getting too much attention 3. Get people's mind off Socialized Medicine and the upcoming Lawsuits to get SCOTUS to kill it 4. Get outa' Dodge so the people will calm down 5. Meet with Karzai to stiffen the Rules of Engagement so . . . 6. Meet with the Taliban to give them Top Secret Information. You say, c'mon that's over the top. Well, see the
CIA Columbia Obama Cover-Up and tell me what you think. . .

So how do you think the troops would respond if they knew that Obama’s delay in speaking to them was due to his praying at the local mosque and bowing to the imams there?

he called them “estremists”.
All his sentences are designed to get applause, like calling out the indivdiual units.
He makes no sense.
To: Sub-Driver
"Obama's brief trip...."Hummmm! I wonder where else he is going?

Karzai got 2 days’ warning. Now that’s a risky move. I don’t want a Biden or Pelosi presidency.

I have the mute on. I must say though,that I need to mute Sarah Palin too. She should take voice lessons cuz her voice is too shrill. I mute BHO and Sarah. Someone needs to tell her to speak lower.
Obama is always best on mute.

It’s from 2009 and it’s not photoshopped, to the best of my knowledge.

Obama is always best on mute. There is no feeling what so ever in his speak, it is all rhetoric and shows no feeling behind it.
It's nothing more than a campaign speech IMO.

Does the president need a passport to visit one of our colonies?
Just curious.
To: floriduh voter; EGPWS
He just says this banal cliches...and then tries to be just a “home boy” droppin’ by...
Plus all his stuff is lies...we will never give up, even the God bless America seemed fake.
and yeah, Sarah sounds shrill.
To: Moe Tzadik
You need to photoshop Obummer’s mug onto that guy on the left.
