    #4  If SHOULD have visited the troops and yes he COULD have. He only had to leave teh circus outside and not make a big thing about it. Bush manages regular visits and rarely do you hear about them.

    Just one minor problem here - that's not Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.

    #2  Is there a difference between the "Obama spokesman" and the "MSM"

    #1  Obama would pull US troops out of the Middle East, and leave it to local power holders. Wounded soldiers would take that mentality as an insult to their great military work.
