MSNBC REPORTING Laura Bush Sneaks Into Afghanistan!

[DistressedAmerican]

Hope she stays!

Why Did This Chicken Cross The Ocean?

[sniffa]

1. did they sneak her in under a burqua?

[kedrys]

She's that hard up for good hashish? Wow. n/t

[atommom]

2. Why? Is she going to address the gang problem there too?

[FreedomAngel82]

6. LOL

I wonder why they're sending her. According to the news report I heard she really wanted to go. :shrug: So she's going to go to a place where her husband destroyed their country?

[peacetalksforall]

9. We didn't destroy Afganistan - we pointed the gun at Afghanistan

because that was where bin Laden and all the terrorists were, but then we shifted the gun to the left and shot Iraq. Remember Rummies remark - he didn't want to conduct a war in Afghanistan.

I took that to mean that he couldn't run trucks and humvees over the mountains AND AND AND THE OIL WAS IN IRAQ. (And money in the banks - also, we seemed to have some dirty left over secrets there that had to be covered up or moved - moves that cost some of our soldiers their heatlh as was once reported many, many months ago.

We destroyed Iraq and their multi-thousand historical and cultural documents, artifact, and books. Iraq was only the 'the cradle of civilization', but we took care of the cradle.)

24. We bombed the heck out of Afghanistan causing the deaths of....

...tens of thousands of innocent Afghans who were NEVER connected with Osama and/or Al Qaeda. We reduced a country that was barely out of the Stone Age to something that doesn't even resemble a country at all.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, we're still waging the "Forgotten War" in Afghanistan, and we're still taking casualties.

28. You're right...I had to have my memory jump started...I truly thought it

was less than what it was. Dis-Reality working.

[Fridays Child]

3. MSNBC: As you know, she has shown a great interest in the plight...

...of women in Afghanistan.

Uh huh. Sure she has.

[Hobarticus]

7. Looking to hire some help around the house, maybe? eom

[AlCzervik]

4. is she going to check out the poppy fields?

[signmike]

5. Maybe a fashion statement? She might shine there, considering

the competition...

:spray:

[peacetalksforall]

12. Nasty. I assume you meant competition of similarly dressed Western

women in the embassies. Let's respect the culture of the people.

[signmike]

21. oooohh, Kayyyy. Yeah, sure, that's the ticket. . .

That's what I meant.

"Similarly dressed western women"

You mean there are others wearing the living room drapes?

Condi's husb goes there for Thanksgiving, and L goes for Halloween?

heh heh heh

:evilgrin:

8. The dog who's tail they were wagging last week

got tired, so this is this weeks.

shameless. Hope she stays safe. Too bad George Jr. didn't go with her.

[shrub chipper]

14. my thoughts, exactly

Let's , by all means, move on fron SS especially since the Schiavo mess was such a disaster for them.

30. Thanks UL.

[underpants]

10. Hmmmm weekend at Osama's?

:spank:

[DistressedAmerican]

13. Why Not We've Been Helping Him For The Past Several Years.

Photo-Op!

[Willy Lee]

20. Rated it a "1". BFD.

[DistressedAmerican]

15. These Guys Love A Good Photo-Op

Jeb should be winging over to Indonesia Soon. More devestation to capitalize on, you know.

Why do I think despite the visit of the first lady. Conditions on the street have not improved one bit for the average person on the street.

If things were ACTUALLY improving they could pub a visit like this in advance. Her sneaking in is just one more measure of our failure in the region.

[leetrisck]

16. "Laura Bush Medical Center" - she'll have her picture

taken there and leave. I think I read that there is one there - we spent money on it anyway and "they" saw to it that it was named for her.

[DistressedAmerican]

22. I think I heard Something About That A While Ago.

Sick, Exploitative, Assholes One And All!

[Gold Metal Flake]

17. Sacrificial lamb?

For the generation of sympathy poll numbers?

[catmandu57]

18. These people can't do anything without sneaking

they operate under the cover of darkness and secrecy like cockroaches. They can't travel anywhere in the world, unless it's unannounced or there'll be thousands of protestors and no first ammendment zones to corral them in.
I remember when visits like this got much publicity and were welcomed around the world, I HATE THESE FUCKING PEOPLE.

[DistressedAmerican]

19. We Have To Turn On The Freaking Lights!

Watch them scatter!

GO INTERNET(S)!

Old But Applicable:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

23. Must have been a sale in Kabul.

[DistressedAmerican]

25. LOL! I'm Sure We Get Damn Good Exchange Rates!

I remember when the administration said we weren't going to abandon this country again like we did after the soviets left. I guess this is what Bush meant.

He clearly did learn the lesson of September 11th! Never felt safer!
