          OBAMA– PUBLIC RELATIONS STUNT in AFGHANISTAN
in of MAY 2014!

… more SMOKE &amp; MIRRORS!

 

President Barack Obama secretly slipped into Afghanistan under the cover of
darkness Sunday for a weekend visit with U.S. troops serving in the closing
months of America&#039;s longest war.

Air Force One landed at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in
Afghanistan, after an overnight flight from Washington. Obama was scheduled to
spend just a few hours on the base and had no plans to travel to Kabul, the
capital, to meet with Hamid Karzai, the mercurial president who has had a
tumultuous relationship with the White House.

Obama&#039;s surprise trip comes as the U.S. and NATO withdraw most of their
forces ahead of a year-end deadline. Obama is seeking to keep a small number of
U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014 to train Afghan security forces and
conduct counterterrorism missions. But that plan is contingent on Karzai&#039;s
successor signing a bilateral security agreement that Karzai has refused to
authorize.

Obama&#039;s visit also was taking place against the backdrop of growing outrage
in the United States over the treatment of America&#039;s war veterans. More than
two dozen veterans&#039; hospitals across America are under investigation over
allegations of treatment delays and deaths, putting greater scrutiny on the
Department of Veterans Affairs. The agency already was struggling to keep up
with the influx of forces returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq.

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow I managed to post this reply to your post in the general discussion - sorry.
To pass the time we could quibble about which of the &quot;badly governed&quot; eras was worst or better, but that was not the point.
As far as the Greco-Bactria era - they did basically what I advocate: they did what they wanted with the territory or routes they needed and as long as the locals stayed out of the way all was good. If the locals caused problems they were punished severely without mercy or apology.
They did not not attempt to &quot;govern&quot; the whole territory or give a fig for the local&#039;s feelings or customs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fads and fashion change with regimes. If they don’t like the burkas they shouldn’t wear them. We are not responsible for their sartorial preferences or justifications for same. Our only concern is that they don’t try to intimidate or otherwise impose their concerns on us.

They only need to know, and we only need to demonstrate, that if they bring any discomfort, irritation, or actual harm to us it will end up hurting them far more than anything they do or cause to be done to us. A graphic demonstration may be necessary to impress them with our ability and convince them of our sincerity - but once done would save a lot of time, money, and lives.

Think of all the lives, American and Afghan, that would have been saved had Bill Clinton visited massive destruction Kabul, when the Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden. Afghans would have discovered a fatwa somewhere that said hiding murderous whackjobs from Americans is not covered under obligations of hospitality.]]></description>
