Hillary Clinton makes surprise visit to Afghanistan

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton landed in Kabul Wednesday in a surprise visit on the eve of the inauguration of President Hamid Karzai.

Clinton went straight into a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, before having dinner with Karzai.

Her first visit to Afghanistan as secretary of state comes as President Obama is deciding whether to send up to 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, as requested by McChrystal.

Seems appropriate that she would be touching down in Kabul as I'm pulling a late nighter to finish a great book about Afghanistan.  and I still have to go to work after the plumber bleeds our heating pipes.

Am I the only one for whom it has disappeared the last couple of days?

Had another spammer posting pornographic comments and even deleting the comment seemed to leave it in the list.

I do remember seeing those appear.  Yes, the pornographic spammers will eventually take away everyone's fun.
