“The powerful speaker....”

This crap reads like a North Korean propaganda piece.

I am surprised they didn’t refer to the witch as “all knowing.”

I wonder if Pelosi bothered to thank the troops for making Afghanistan a safe enough place for her to visit.

Where is Osama Bin Ladin when he could have done something “GOOD!” I’ll bet Karzai just “REALLY ENJOYED” the Hag’s Visit! Wondering how much BOOZE was on this Junket? How big was The HAG’S Entourage? Just think, only SIX MORE MONTHS until the HAG is Kicked out on her Fat Bass!

Did they put her in a burqa? Just so she could experience some cross-cultural sensitivity training? or beat her?

"Where is Osama Bin Ladin when he could have done some;thing “GOOD!”

But really, you answered your own question, the woman couldn't have been safer in her own home. One has to only read a little from interviews made after the war with North Vietnam's leadership to know what's going on...
