Why didn't Obama visit Afghanistan LAST YEAR...?

[ScreamingEagle]

....right after Osama bin Laden was taken out.....?

wouldn't that have been a MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE time to "end the war"......?

 

[ScreamingEagle]

If you ask yourself why Obama made a little trip to Afghanistan NOW vs LAST YEAR....

.....you must come to the conclusion that this current media sham is all POLITICAL.....

2012....election year and the economy sucks, so he needs a diversion in the news.

A year ago, he had to go to Alabama after a tornado strike. I'm sure if he didn't, you'd have been all over his shit, amiright?

Obama has visited Afghanistan three times. How many times did Bush visit?

Oh, yeah. Twice. For a couple minutes each time.

Because he had a bet with Michelle that he could get you to cry about it a year later.

answer the question.....

The fear of Obama is really rising lately around here. All these cosmetic attacks with no substantive discussion of shit that really matters.

He takes less vacations than Bush did, visits Afghanistan more than Bush did, managed to get Osama bin Laden where Bush failed. And somehow this is all turned into negatives!

Amazing.


You guys are actually helping to re-elect the guy.

maybe you should have listened to the speach

Obamination has spent more money campaigning and traveling than Bush did his entire term......3 years > 8 years.

As long as you ignore the fact that the Afghanis had requested that he come there to sign the agreement that was signed,

which happened to be the purpose of the trip.

Let me explain this to you disgrunteld brained cons.

When they took OUT OBL they got a treasure trove of intell on who were the underlings they needed to TAKE OUT to solidify the crippling of AQ.

They then took that intel and offed the needed people.


Now the Taliban is decimated.


Thank you Mr President

Actually, agents were pissed when Obama announce that we had intelligence info after Osama was killed. That pretty well meant much of the info would do us no good. You never announce when you have something on the enemy. Obama tipped our hand and there is no telling what opportunities were lost. I also doubt that we've successfully disabled the Taliban. Radicals are always lined up to take the places of those killed.

What I don't understand about his current trip to Afghanistan is why they acted like it was a secret trip and the article talks about how they sneaked in, met in a dimly lit parking lot and then sneaked back out. If it was all supposed to happen on the sly, why did he give a public, televised speech while there, one that was advertised in advance? Doesn't that contradict the whole story about them having to stay under the radar while there?

 

[Truthmatters]

Dear fucking liar.

You have no idea what the agents thought.

Any one with two brain cells would know OBL compound would be rich with intell.
