Was he ducking withering sniper fire the whole time?

I don't think that the Taliban or Al-Qaeda would shoot at one of their supporters.

Did he get dust in his eye? Sunburn? Something to get a purple heart.

I think the idiot left (those who loath the military) confuse these two concepts:

"I was there under the protection of expert military snipers."

versus

"I landed there under sniper fire."

Was that counted from the minute the tires touched ground until they lifted off?

Then of course all the press had to de-plane at a snail’s pace. I wonder what his actual feet-on-Jalalabad-soil time was.

Perhaps #60 could re-phrase his/her post to make it acceptable altho the thought behind it may not be.

Katie, Brian and Charlie

They are not with him on this whirlwind of a trip to Afghanistan and Iraq. They will meet up with him when the crowds get bigger and are more friendly and gullible.

I think he is qualified for combat pay for the July pay period, no?

Thanks Ernest, I just read that one and came back into reality to find your post here. I was terribly confused in the beginning with different times, helicoptors taking off with who knows what on board, etc. until I noted that no reporters were with the Obamassiah and his top secret entourage.

The conflicting information with that of our Capt.now Major Freeper in Jalalabad begins to make sense. Obama’s people think they can report anything they want without reprisal as they haven’t anybody alleged news reporters to counter what they are issueing as news to the MSM.

I hope we have even more good FReepers along the way to report truth over there.

Just long enough to go to the airport gift shop, get a pressie photo taken, visit the head, make sure the passport was stamped and reboard the plane.

Perfect description. I'm wondering if he gets the pervasive feeling that he is surrounded by people who cling to their guns and their religion.

And they didn't go with him...Why?? Probably because they wouldn't agree to "Edit as Ordered". This way...he can write his own news.

It'll be: "I've learned a lot but can't divulge it....Secrecy is important in war."

He’s campaigning. Unfortunately, I met a lot of Amercian soldiers there who were enamoured with B.H.O.

they just started laying asphalt on the ring road

Good news. I jogged it many times, but couldn't run with any speed. I'm blaming the gravel, but the heat may have had something to do with it!

Best wishes to y'all. I just retired after 25 years.
