ABC reported:
One year and two days after President Obama appeared before an audience at West Point and told the nation he was sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, he has come to meet with troops in the war-torn country for his second visit as commander-in-chief — where he is being greeted by bad weather and storms of an altogether different kind.
The rough winds and dark clouds could symbolize the challenges the president and his team face here, as the war — now in its 10th year — risks being undermined by a corrupt government, a strong insurgency, leaks of classified cables, waning public support and shifting political winds.
it doesn’t look like things are any better over there.
Good grief.
UPDATE: Obama flew 7,000 miles to talk to Karzai by phone.
UPDATE: Another blow to his highness…
