US President Al O'Bama made a "surprise" visit to Armpitistan yesterday, where he signed a "historic" accord with Afghan's freely and fairly and Democratically (geddit?) elected President Krazai. Apparently arriving just as the sun rose, the Prez said, "We can see the light of a new day." Well, he would say that, wouldn't he. Always full of hope, or possibly dope.
AP quotes Mr. Obama as saying "Our goal is to destroy al-Qaeda, and we are on a path to do exactly that, thanks to my single-handed slaying of Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago. Three cheers and a tiger for me! And don't forget to vote for change in 2012." [Ed., please see if you can get a second source for that quote.] At this point an advisor clapped a hand over the Prez's mouth.
A couple of hours later, al-Qaeda launched a suicide attack in Kabul, the Afghan capital, not realizing that Obama had been speaking from the safety of the US base at Bagram, several hundred miles away. Pictures from BBC here.
"No, no, no," an al-Qaeda spokesthing told Al Jazeera. "We did know where Obama was, but the taxi we got into turned out to be driven by a foreigner...an Afghan or a Somali or something. Damn foreigners!"
