UPDATED 4:45 p.m. ET

(CBS News) -- President Obama arrived in Afghanistan Tuesday for an unannounced visit to meet with U.S. troops stationed there and to sign a ten-year agreement with President Hamid Karzai on the role of U.S. forces beyond the end of the war in 2014.

Mr. Obama was set to meet with Karzai at the presidential palace in Kabul and then travel to Bagram Air Field to meet with troops and make a televised address around 7:30 p.m. ET.

Shortly after arriving, about midnight local time, President Obama and President Karza signed an agreement to designate Afghanistan a major non-NATO ally. The agreement says the U.S. will provide, aid, advisors and support after NATO combat troops leave in 2014.

Ah, yes ... I recall Gordon Liddy waxing lyrical and having a man-crush over Bushes "manhood" in his flight suit, and Eric Erickson saying Bush landed the plane on the flight deck himself

Well. Now bin Laden has been killed, and Al Quaeda leadership decimated.

Stewart has been in rare form this political season, but he had the entire Republican primary field to work with.

Inaugural Charade
Romney and Obama pretend everything changed when Obama took office. Bull.
By William Saletan|Posted Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at 12:31 PM ET

According to Mitt Romney, everything that’s going wrong in this country started when Barack Obama took office. Women lost their jobs. Families lost their homes. The nation’s debt soared.

According to Barack Obama, everything that’s going well started when he took office. The government rescued the auto industry. Energy production rose. The war against Osama Bin Laden turned in our favor.

Each candidate rejects the other’s story. Romney says the things that are going well started going well before Jan. 20, 2009. Obama says the things that are going badly went bad before Jan. 20, 2009. Both of these rebuttals are correct, which means both men are exaggerating what President Obama changed. This is what politicians do: They heap blame on incumbents, promise to change the world, and then, once elected, pretend to have done so. Don’t believe them. It’s wildly implausible that the nation’s progress or decline began on Inauguration Day. In fact, it’s false. And the candidates, in their rebuttals, show that they know it.



the last paragraph of the article is all spot on!
