Obama in Kabul for unnannounced Afghan trip 28 Mar 2010 15:52:14 GMT Source: Reuters * Obama makes first Afghanistan visit as U.S. president

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.

Hopefully Karzai leaves King Barry alone to enjoy a private dinner with his family. Barry can sit and stew for a while.

Take this for what it’s worth, but I’ve always had a strong feeling that the Moslems will make an attempt on his life.

Well now... it is the eve of Passover, and he is the Obamessiah.

Besides, if he wants to fake something like that in order to boost poll numbers, friendly and remote territory is the place to be. Not so many witnesses but no shortage of "suspects", inside or outside the gates.

I put nothing past this twisted devil.

No, I think it's almost a year old. Can't remember when, though.

The first, and one of the only times Obama spoke to the troops (Marines?), and they responded just like they look in all the photos.

My response at the time??

WE HAVE NO COMMANDER IN CHIEF. OUR TROOPS HAVE NO COMMANDER IN CHIEF!

We still don't. He can't even pretend to care.

The Mossad press corps intercepted his plan and were on the tarmac waiting for him.

BS, find it yourself. It won’t take you long. No I didn’t take them, they have been all over the internet forever. Maybe if you didn’t spend all your time at DU and Kos you would have seen them. You don’t fool me. I am so onto you. Oh and by the way, tell that skinny, jug eared, low life to show us his effing BC.

Oh for sure. Not a doubt in my mind after reading the past pasts. Not very many of them, but enough. This is no FReeper, this is a troll letting his name slow cook. Too bad, already outed.

Nobody said it was and who cares? I figured you would run over and try to defend Curious George.
