US First Lady Michelle Obama Arrives in Qatar for Speech
ABC ^ | 11/02/15 | ap

First Lady Michelle Obama arrives at the Hamad Airport in Doha, Qatar, Nov. 2, 2015.

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama arrived in Qatar on Monday as part of a two-country Mideast tour, with plans to visit a crucial air base in America's war against the Islamic State group and give a speech on the importance of girl's education.

Obama touched down in Doha, the Qatari capital, on Monday night, the state-run Qatar News Agency reported, without elaborating.

While in Doha, she'll visit the al-Udeid air base with comedian and late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien. The base hosts the forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command, as well as aircraft involved in the campaign of airstrikes targeting Islamic State militants in both Syria and Iraq.

Obama is scheduled to give a speech Wednesday on her Let Girls Learn initiative at the 2015 World Innovation Summit for Education, sponsored by the Qatar Foundation. The foundation is chaired by Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned, former ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's most high-profile wife.

Somehow someway she is getting paid for this little jaunt. You can’t keep immoral corrupt people down, especially Demonrats.

I'd say that no one in Qatar gives a crap about what Mooch has to say about girls' education but everyone already knows that. They will listen to curry favor and she's there for a disguised vacation.

She’s going to end the speech with “allahu akhbar.”

She’s on another vacation, just wants to make it look respectable by giving a “speech.” They will pay people to show up.

At first I read the article as saying she was going to the Congo.

Maybe she is carrying a personal message to someone?

Carrying a personal message to someone???????

I think you’re the winner! That is probably exactly the cover for this trip. Can these people go any lower? Yes they can.

Who remembers that the mooch visited someone in the Boston Hospital after the Marathon incident, and who might that have been and to whom did she give a message?

I smell a rat.
