the man makes me sick and those who support him, they will say how great he is by going over there and yet ignore the real reason of using this as an excuse to not attend church

I was questioning the picture because it was on the thread about TODAY’s visit to Kabul.

I am saddened to think that our heroes are so demoralized by this dog.

We must renew our prayers for our men and women in uniform.

I have a question. Whenever B.O. has fawning troops in the photo ops, is their enthusiasm genuine? Or do their commanders tell them they HAVE to act a certain way? Where are the conservative troops who are NOT pointing cameras and angling for a handshake?

US President Barack Obama (L) speaks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai during a meeting at the Presidential Palace in Kabul. Obama landed in Afghanistan Sunday for a surprise first visit as US commander-in-chief and as his huge surge of 30,000 troops, designed to end the eight-year war, gathers pace. (AFP/Jim Watson)

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks to the troops at Bagram Air Base in Kabul, March 28, 2010. Obama arrived unannounced in Afghanistan on Sunday, his first visit to the war zone that could define his presidency since his election as U.S. commander-in-chief. Air Force One landed in darkness at Bagram airfield north of the Afghan capital, and Obama was whisked by helicopter to Hamid Karzai's palace in Kabul, where he was greeted by the Afghan president and a band playing the U.S. national anthem.

I’m soooooo sure that the troops want to see this nutjob
while he’s there. He’s probably over there to celebrate
some Muslim holiday instead of participating in the obvious
Christian ones!

“And once again, our military is used as a prop.”

I hear they make a good photo op.

It was done not to attend church...and also probably to hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban, Bambi’s best buds.

In August of 1998 President Clinton ordered cruise missles strikes on terrorists camps in Afghanistan which were thought to be under the control of Bin Laden. How soon you forget the facts.
Let our actions today send this message loud and clear — there are no expendable American targets,” U.S. President Clinton said in a televised address to the American people Thursday evening. “There will be no sanctuary for terrorists. We will defend our people, our interests and our values.”

U.S. officials say the six sites attacked in Afghanistan were part of a network of terrorist compounds near the Pakistani border that housed supporters of millionaire Osama bin Laden.

An official of the Taliban, Afgahanistan’s Islamic rulers, reported 21 were killed and 30 were injured in the missile strikes in eastern Afghanistan.

Numerous sources for this online. This is one from CNN

I first saw that picture in an e-mail together with a bunch of other, clearly photoshopped images of the (cough) president. I assumed that one had been done too. I apologize if I was incorrect. Mojitojoe, did you take the picture yourself or know who did? Where and when was it taken?
