Troops get another visit, this time by Gates
U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made a surprise visit to Afghanistan Tuesday to meet with officials and deliver a pat on the back to American troops slugging it out with militants there for more than nine years.
He touched down at Bagram Air Base in a stop made just days after U.S. President Barack Obama's trip to the country and on the same day British Prime Minister David Cameron was traveling there.
Why did Obama and Gates even come to Afghanistan?They are not wanted here. They do no good for troop morale or our confidence in them as leaders. I was in Iraq when President Bush came at least three or four times as well as Secetary of State Rice. They cared about us over here. Their visits were welcomed because they lasted for more than an hour and real front line troops were brought in for the visits. Obame was here at Bagram the safest olace in the whole damn country. No front line troops were there jus Marines and Army troops coming and going from leave. This puppet act is seen right through by all of us over here. Go Away Obama and Gates we don't want you here unless you come to take us home for this hell hole.
Right John,we really need somebody to get out of there which neither Gates nor Obama have any intentions of doing.
Merry Christmas,everyone.

The best part of me ran down the sheep's legs.
Yak -O-boy..............you can write something better than this.
You must be a dirty- minded Tea Partier Yak-o-boy_Says,based on whay you blogged above. Did you ever meet a clean minded Tea Partier? You never will!
BTDT...Who cares just bomb them anyway.
9/11 came from Afghanistan's Taliban terrorist supporters, you threw the first punch know you will lie on the floor ring!
You and your 360 cult is the only crime against humanity here!
Can't you see that your 360 is doing all the killing and we are just responding at the behest of the Afghan people?
Im a Christian, I think I know a little more about my beliefs than you, you idiotic coward. Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity of God the Father, God the Son (JESUS) and God the Holy spirit. three in one. we are NOT hindus.
and those who kill for no other reason but self righteousness!
And remember i told you to shut up your time will come but you wished to continue with your lies full of hatred!
no, but he had a lot to do with catholicism.
I meant the right-wing thugs in Washington who are filled with both arrogance and self righteousness!
Jesus will judge some who have been not so faithful, but He as the Father will judge those who have not been faithful and have been hateful,murderers and kill for no other reason but self righteousness! All others who have been faithful will be rewarded for the good that they have done or punished for the bad they have done, all by God's angels.
Your 360 degrees are nothing but murderers and suicide bombers expecting God to favor your hatefulness and your love(submission)for your insane belief of a once pagan self made false prophet!
Terrorists used the happy mood of troops to launch another attack after President Obama's visit. These terrorists are using all tactics to survive for better or for worse. They are on the hunt every second. preparing to find more chances take more lives of our precious men. All they want is not a developed Afghanistan but drug business and oppress people.
yakcrap.we know who you are.you are the dubious looking janitor with dyed red beard and only a left arm that has the red fingernails that keeps picking the used maxipads out of the female head.I hope you aren't smoking these.
It is time to bring troops home. Let the Afghan government take care of their country with the Afghan forces. Our men have sacrificed a lot. These Talibans are not allowing forces to reach the true enemy who hides in Afghan and Pakistan Border.we like to hear more about what the progress of Pakistan Army too about this global problem..
American will leave when the Taliban quit hiding Al Quaeda and cough up Osama Bin Laden so he can be tried for his crimes. Until then the Taliban will keep dying 100 to 1.
USMC FOREVER....SIR ..they cant cough out bin because bin hides every where with his few followers and rest do the killings behalf of him. I am sure bi n is not in one place even for a week. This man is selfish. letting others die behalf of him . Punishment must come from GOD to him I pray for murdering innocents on 9/11.
Oh no,not again!
