"KABUL, May 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Afghan capital Kabul on Tuesday for an unannounced visit, Afghan officials said.
During his trip here, the U.S. president is expected to sign a strategic agreement with Afghanistan, unnamed Afghan government officials were quoted as saying by local TV channels. .."
Should be some pictures out pretty soon.

I thought he was going over to hand deliver a very large sum of cash.

But didn't he recently say, that he takes "trips" to do "recon" for Michele and her "vacations" ????
Maybe he may want to "silence" her. I'll bet that she found out just WHO the SS were getting those ..... errrr ..... ummmm .... "friends" for, on his LAST trip.
Just look at how he spends OUR money. I mean he is a cheep bastard after all. 30 bucks for an $800.00 escort ..... sheeezzzzz ...... Sounds like his style.

And on our dime. Purely for the purpose of obama being the center of attention. This has nothing to do with the military. He got slapped a bit for parading the OBL take down.
