Obama Starts In Afghanistan

Hot off the wires:

Mr. Obama touched down in Kabul at 3:15 a.m. Eastern time, according to a pool report released by his aides. Since leaving Washington on Thursday, Senator Obama had stopped and visited troops in Kuwait. In addition to attending briefings with military leaders, he hoped to meet with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan before flying to Iraq later in the weekend.....

His advisers said Mr. Obama chose to begin his trip in Afghanistan because he believes that the region is among the most important foreign policy challenges facing the United States.

Interesting that he visited the troops in Kuwait without any press or publicity. Sort of undermines the bogus McCain whine about this all being a photo-op.
