POTUS Unannounced Trip To A-stan
News Flash just showed him landing at Bagram and being met by Ambassador and GEN Petraeus - planned meeting with Kharzai may or may not happen.
And so it goes...

The POTUS
It's the POTUS's job to do stuff like this.
Some will complain - the same ones who would complain if he didn't go.

I can't think of a President in my lifetime that didn't have one of those bomber jackets. I think there's some sort of Presidential fraternity significance to it, but my google fu is weak.

Agreed. Just another photo-op for the VIPs to feel good about themselves.

Send W, Cheny and Rummy with him. Between the four of them you might could make a whole man. Then again you might not.

I thought you were implying something else when you suggested sending an armed Cheney on patrol with P-BO.
