Well mari, we know one Army Flight Surgeon who won't be seeing the President in Afghanistan, cuz he's busy cowering in Maryland.

John Boehner probably thinks it's chicken crap!

Finally, the wingnuts are correct -- Obama is touring a foreign country with his entourage of the entire Afghan theater force, costing taxpayers $200 million a day.

I have a feeling the purpose was to talk face to face to Karzai after the wikileaks docs about what people think of Karzai and the war. Remember earlier this year when Karzai said " Eff you all, I should just join the taliban". Maybe it was going to take Obama himself to talk him off the ledge this time. I read a bit ago the face to face meeting had to be cancelled because of weather.
