Obama's Afganistan Visit- Troop Rally or Politics

Yesterday, on the one year anniversary of OBL death by the hands of navy Seal 6 team, Obama took to the air to make a special trip to Afghanistan.
Arriving at 12:00 midnight local time, Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai signed a strategic partnership agreement pledging U.S. support for Afghanistan for a decade after 2014, when NATO forces are planning to conclude their combat role.

According the administration officials, the main goal of the brief visit was to sign the strategic partnership agreement. But the unconventional timing of events on the trip, such as the signing ceremony at midnight local time, was aimed at allowing Obama to address Americans on a schedule convenient for U.S. television audiences, senior administration officials said. That speech, that ran about 10 minutes, took place at 4 a.m. in Afghanistan.


Earlier, a White House official had claimed the date of the trip was “merely a coincidence”

Merely a Coincidence???
From nearly right out of the gate, Obama brings up the killing of OBLAnd for nearly 4 minutes, he spoke of Bin Laden.But here is an interesting piece from his speech to our nation, from their nation.
In 2002, bin Laden and his lieutenants escaped across the border and established safe-havens in Pakistan. America spent nearly eight years fighting a different war in Iraq.
Obama makes it seem that prior to his election, American troops where only fighting a war in Iraq?
Then Obama goes on to say, this.

And one year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The goal that I set, to defeat al Qaeda.
A goal that HE SET? He is acting like he has won this war and that it all started from his election. REALLY?
Well we do know, that the information leading our troops to the whereabouts of OBL came from the enhanced interrogation that was approved by then President Bush.

And what does Veterans for a Strong America think? Well here it is!


America knows who deserves the credit for killing Osama Bin Laden - United States Navy SEALs and the American intelligence community. Join with Veterans for a Strong America and let President Obama know who really deserves the credit.
