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.

He wanted to fly over Siberia to see the Gulags for all the tea party people.
He does to set the world record for the most frequent flyer miles in a year. He also gets triple miles for flying on a weekend first class.
Interesting photo - 4 secret service men, one military in fatigues, not even a beret. Quite a ‘welcoming’ committee.
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.
After all, the penalty for apostasy is death, and as far as we know, he attended a madrassa in Indonesia as a boy.
Of course, in the twisted world view of Islam, one reason for violence is a good as the next.

Obama Orders US Troops to March in Red Square *a few stories down on his list
he’s not in Church celebrating Palm Sunday?
No hadji Palm Sunday!
I guess the Taliban leaders couldn’t come to him...
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Why, part-tay time on Air Force 1 of course!
Has he visited long time US ally Israel?
Anytime Ubanga sticks his fingers in anything, I get real nervous.
Doesn’t he have “jobs” to worry about or something?
Oh that’s right - - he just shoved communism down America’s throat and he’s trying to “move on”, and hopes America will be easily distracted. Well, the Democrat newsrooms are there to help Ubanga any way they can, and this “unannounced trip” gives them something to use.. Whew.. What a foul p.o.s. this pantload Ubanga is..
a nice meteor from Heaven would do a world of good.
He’s getting raked over the coals on Israel. Don’t bet against a visit there. Probably not, but it wouldn’t shock me all that much. This guy will use any entity he can to prop himself up.
There is no end to the 0bama carbon footprint.
They even admitted, at the outset of the new Rules of Engagement, that it would result in higher casualties for OUR troops - and less for the other side, but stated that it would ‘be worth it in the long run.”
Worth it for who, you traitorous bastards? Why are our generals willingly following these rules that tie our soldiers hands and put them in such increased mortal danger?
Traitors all.
Here's just ONE example since the traitors new ROE. Troops pinned down and REFUSED air cover.

WE who care knew about this just days after but it took MONTHS before the MSM covered it. And this is not an isolated incident. It's been par for the course, under the directions of our traitor in chief.
There was a news report this morning that Karzai had less than an hour’s notice that Obama was showing up. That’s interesting.
What’s this a-hole up to now?
Nothing that is going to benefit America, to be sure.
Sounds like an LBJ moment if you ask me.
My thought also.
