Another letter from the troops on Obama’s visit

Another first hand account from one of our troops in Afghanistan on Obama’s visit. Just like the previous letters posted, the troops were not so enthusiastic to see him there. In fact, the majority wanted nothing to do with him. (via Monkey in the MIddle)
95% of base wanted nothing to do with him. I have met three troops who support him, and literally hundreds who regard him as a buffoon, a charlatan, a hindrance to their mission or a flat out enemy of progress. Even when the rumors were publicly admitted, almost no one left their duty sections to try to see him, unless they were officers whose presence was officially required.
Mister Obama’s motorcade drove up from the flight line and entered the dining hall toward the end of lunch time. Diners were chased out and told to make other arrangements for food, in the middle of the duty day.
Now, there are close to 8000 troops on the base and its nearby satellites. No one came up from the Army side (except perhaps a few ranking officers). The airbase resumed operation, once he cleared the flightline, as if nothing had happened. The dining hall holds about 300 people and was not full. The troops did not want to meet him and the feeling was apparently mutual. In attendance, besides the Official Entourage, were the base’s senior officers, some support personnel, and a very few carefully vetted supporters who’d made special arrangements. No photos were allowed. No question and answer with the troops. No real acknowledgment that the troops existed.
Obama left around 1530, during the Muslim Call to Prayer, so he’s not a practicing Muslim. He was in a convoy guarded by (so I’m told) both State Department and Secret Service Personnel.
Less than three hours…
Within 48 hours he was in Afghanistan. It takes most troops longer than that to in-process and get cleared on safety, threats, policies and such. Yet he somehow made a strategic summary by not talking to anyone and not seeing anything.
"I think MJ converted in the hope it gets the sheikh ON his back, not off it…"
My point exactly. Maybe ...
Don't forget that the Muslim Taqiyya allows Muslims to lie if it advances "The Religion of Peace." Long live Satan/Allah. 
Aided by many uninformed liberals. 
Yeah, they tend to get like that. 19 muslims flying airplanes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and ...
"Just another troll Chris." (Tonto)

What’s new here? Page out of Hillary and Bill’s book. Secret service, cops, and service personell are hired help and beneath notice.
