Sorry about that. However I assumed that you knew the difference between a Travel Ban and a Travel Advisory issued by the State Department. Sometimes, I assume that everyone travels overseas on a regular basis and has to check into those matters whenever they travel ouside if The US.

Can you show the state department travel advisory link in 1981? Can you also show what the requirements to enter into the under martial law Pakistan by that government for Americans? And can you show Obama had a United States passport in 1981?

The point is you have proven nothing more than any of the other posters looking for the truth.

Obama said he traveled to Pakistan in 1981, that we have proof of him saying. That's about it.

The State Department does not specify if there was a Travel Ban or Travel Advisory for Americans to Pakistan in 1981.

However, in July of 1981 the NYT in their Travel Section had an article about American tourists going to Pakistan.

The NYT piece states:

Tourists can obtain a free, 30-day visa (necessary for Americans) at border crossings and airports. Transportation within Lahore is plentiful, with taxis, scooter rickshaws and horse-drawn tongas (especially in the old city) readily available. Insist that taxis and scooter rickshaws use their meters to determine fares, however.

Americans needed a Visa to enter Pakistan so there must not have been a ban.

The NYT piece also states that Pakistan International Airlines had an office in NYC.

For more information write to Pakistan International Airlines, 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017 (212-949-0477)

Therefore, the the theory that Americans could not travel to Pakistan in 1981 is pure nonsense.
