#1 Because until President Obama explained it to him, he couldn't possibly have understood properly. But now that he does, things will go as they ought.

#5 He's going to lecture Karzai about nepotism, cronie-ism, and rascalism. We need a reform candidate.

#6 Maybe the US President should heed his own advice.

#8 Check out the Rooters Photos here. The troops (all 25 of them) are kept behind a fence and ~~TOTUS~~ POTSUS has to lean over it to shake hands with the patient group of placid troops. A veritable mutual detachment society. No drama here. Move on.

Its a tautology. Barry's idea is that his government is better because it is, just like the sky is blue because it is. EVERYONE better just know because Barry is President things are good and better get better. Thats all any one that is NOT Barry needs to know. /Sarc

#10 This is what it looks like when a commander in chief rallies the troops.

Frank #2 - I agree with NS -- you destroyed multiple targets with one warhead.

#11 I went through the photo slide show at Nimble Spemble's link. There's a white split rail-style fence between the president and the troops -- he's doing the macho thing with one foot up on the top as he leans over to shake hands. Are the troops being herded past the receiving spot? Because otherwise the pose doesn't make sense...

As for the rest of the photos, President Karzai needs to realize how lucky they were taken at all, 'cause if he doesn't seriously shape up, next time he'll get the Zionist treatment.

#12 Ah. Explains the random unsolicited stat clip cnn threw out about how more and more people think the Afghan theatre is important. Shoulda guessed it.

#13 Matt, I didn't always agree with him, but D*MN I miss him now!
