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.

Tweeting you have to wonder why they allow it as it tells everybody your next moves.
“It will, however give talking points to his captive MSM.”
Which he hopes will divert attention away from what a disaster he is.
“unnannounced”???
Who writes this stuff?
Obama is not worthy of meeting with our troops. POG that he is.
And how do we send money to the Taliban? Oh, that won’t work. They’re on the same sie.
Osama Bin Ladin called Obama and told him to come over to Afghanistan for a Coffee together and Booze for the TOTUS!
Is it any coincidence that Obama chooses the week that Osama comes out publicly twice? You gotta believe Osama knows everything about Obama’s past that is hidden from Us!
To enhance security CAUCASIAN troop are banned from meeting the Resident.
Can you put a picture of Obama next to Osama? They look like they are related?

Harry didn't go. Reid was chumming with Wayne LaPierre at the taxpayer funded target range yesterday.
I can’t, but hopefully someone else may post them together here? Also, I hope we see pictures from the Troops of them with him, grimacing, standing off and wearing their silent crossfingers when appearing near the TOTUS!
Absolutely no argument with that. When a president has to conduct staged events with loyalists in attendance for PR, it says a lot.
Unfortunately the military has to follow orders. We need a couple of service men to flash the Hawaiian good luck sign during the photo ops.
Looks like a rather spartan and stark reception! The alleged and apparently Illegitimate POTUS is a pathetic excuse for a Commander-in-Chief!
Something big could be in the offing. First the “secret” meeting with Netanyahu and now this.
There is one thing that could save Obama’s bacon this November and that is an attack on Iran.
As if, TOTUS needed another road trip.
After all, that was one the first things he tried to do after being installed on his throne: make the wounded troops pay for their own treatment. He actually saw nothing wrong with this.
Fortunately, even the dems saw the insanity in that proposal.
Even the Uber Lib, Jon Stewart lambasted it: (scroll down for video)

I cant wait to see the pictures of the cheering troops....
There ARE going to be pictures of cheering troops, right?
Guys?...
Will he tell the troops about HIS new healthcare?
