B. Hussein Obama has come and gone on his visit to Jalalabad Air Field in eastern Afghanistan. He landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800, which is more than enough time for any Democrat to check the Natioanl Defense box, and he is now just as qualified as John McCain to speak on all matters related to Operation Enduring Freedom.
During his visit he toured the Task Force (TF) Bayonet 173rd Brigade (Sky Soldiers!) Headquarters and Tactical Operations Center (TOC).
Well, that's the big news from the front line fellow FReepers. Keep up the fight at home and we'll do our part here.
God Bless, Captain (Now Major) Shamrock
This stuff, like Afghanistan and Iraq are just there on his trip to make BO appear to know about them.
Barack is preening and puffing up for his big MSM-European lovefest. The “Barack Obambi Saves the World Tour.” He will part oceans and bathe the world in love and comradeship.
Oh, it will be such a sight. If this crap doesn’t turn an average American to the OFF button, the person is hopeless and lost.
The way the media is creaming their jeans over Obama you’d think it was the 2nd Coming...if you get the pleasure of meeting him make fun of his ears and tell him his feet and breath stink...
And the perfumed princes in Capitol Splendor are our liege lords; we are their vassals. They just look at us as money-producing machines.
We are dealing with a very different “reality” from that of our Founding Fathers.
That’s the way it is supposed to Work.,..../s
Obama has left the building.
Thank for your service Major. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe.
You nailed it. They have no friggin' clue. My withering sniper fire was tongue in cheek for any trolling lefties.
Under 3 hours at JAF for sure.
But he did have stops at Kabul and Kandahar as well...in all fairness.
What the hell is that? It looks like the face hugger from Alien.
Not even that..
Not even that..
2 hours 45 minutes, just enough time flip flop on a few more key issues.
Just the smell of the human body after a week in the summer sun.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic," Hay yo Big jet airliner, keep them engines a rollin' just gonna pick up some fresh opiates produce and I'll be most on my way back to the USSA....now where'd Osama bugger off to?..inshallah" Racist Hamas, O-bunny
If they're smart and if he doesn't want to get his wittle feelings hurt (like with the New Yorker cover), they won't let me near him.
And I don't really want him near me. (Vomm...)
Do you know if this was his First stop...and has he yet met Karzai?
Just trying to correlate the various reports as they appear in FR threads...
And where was the conference table so glowingly reported by the Media...!!!
Off to solve more of the world's problems!
I’m sure the MSM has enough footage to make it look like he was there for 2 weeks, and when this trip is over he will seem to be the most qualified president in the history of the world on foreign policy. The Maaaaaagic Negro!!!
Obama Lands in Afghanistan for First Tour of War Zones (With Details)
*****************************EXCERPT**************************
The governor of Nangarhar Province, Gul Agha Shirzai, a former mujahedeen commander who has a brutal past but is favored by the United States as a doer, was the only Afghan official to meet the senators, along with the United States ambassador and generals.
Mr. Shirzai, who is thought to have his own aspirations in Afghan presidential elections next year, has been praised for his tough action against poppy cultivation and official corruption in his province.
Barack Obama thanked the officials of Nangarhar and the people of Nangarhar for eliminating poppy cultivation, fighting corruption, and he promised that the United States would give more help to Afghanistan and especially to Nangarhar, he said by telephone after the one hour meeting.
The senators flew back to Bagram air base, north of Kabul, at 5 p.m., the governor said.
***************************
So the first Afghan official Obama meets is one who has aspirations to replace Karzai....how interesting....
