OBAMA Has Come and Gone - Report from Jalalabad Air Field

First Hand Account ^ | 19 JULY 2008 | Captain Shamrock

[Captain Shamrock]

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

Air Force WannabeOne did a touch and go.

Obama already knows everything worth knowing. He just made the trip to show the little soldiers on the ground that he feels their pain.

[Sacajaweau]

Heard he was stuffing plants into his briefcase...Reminded him of the good old days...

[Coffee200am]

HEchelle ain’t with him is she?

[Spokane]

Upon being interviewed after returning to the safety of the United States, Obama said “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Thank you for your service Captain, two free Countries can never repay you. Our prayers are with you and your men.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Is Cheech & Chong on his staff?

[popdonnelly]

Expect the Obama campaign to express “outrage” at your report.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks for the word.,...that’s really a quick visit to gather what the real facts are on the ground ...../s

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks....

[rawhide]

Perhaps if stayed longer he would have been called to the Islamic prayer.

Prayer time is approx 1900 hrs in Afganistan today. He left at 1800 hrs.

Thank you Major!

Elvis has left the building...

[elhombrelibre]

Obama’s a quick study; it should only take him a few minutes to sum up what’s wrong there and come to the decisions he already has. //Sarcasm off.

[Captain Shamrock]

Let’s see...No, No, No, No and No.

Thanks for your service.

BTW, they just started laying asphalt on the ring road. Good bye oversized gravel!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Thanks for your report, Major!

Just enough time to say he did it, and take a few photos for the campaign.

Wonder if they got one with him grabbing a hand full of Afghani soil and sniffing it, like General Maximus Decimus Meridius did in “Gladiator”.

[autumnraine]

Hand shakes are PR poses. I mean talk to. He wants to lead these people? He truly has King George (not Bush) mentality.

[Dog Gone]

Obama now has the foreign experience I was waiting for.

I’m very impressed.

[woofie]

And Afghanistan is the “GOOD” War which we HAVE to win
