    It seems you can't read....

    "The Obama camp said they canceled the event after the Pentagon ruled it was a campaign event, and needed to be funded from the senator’s election kitty."

    They didn't say he couldn't go just that he had to pay for his trip with his campaign funds.

    Take this for what it's worth. Personally, I think it meshes well with Obama's phony campaign.

    Subject: Fw: Obama in Afghanistan


    Guys, I dont know if this is true, but, it came from a friend of mine in Texas that has been very serious about correctness in the past. So take it as you will, it was sent to me as a personally know fact. jb

    Subject: Obama in Afghanistan



    Hello everyone,

    As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.

    As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.

    So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

    I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

    If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry, but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

    In service,
    CPT XXXX X XXXXXXXr

    The email was from the person quoted, but not accurate. Here's his followup:

    "I am writing this to ask that you delete my email and not forward it. After checking my sources, information that was put out in my email was wrong. This email was meant only for my family. Please respect my wishes and delete the email and if there are any blogs you have my email portrayed on I would ask if you would take it down too. Thanks for your understanding."

    I don't remember how long you have to edit your posts, but....

    I said take it for what it's worth and the fake website address that I posted was used to say that Obama has said and done many things that his drones ignore. If this is true, it would obviously be another one the drones ignored.

    Again, you should really mind your own business.
