Cenk seems to miss that the reason it was a surprise was to make the GOP look stupid.

Romney went to ground zero, with Rudy 9-11, and handed out some Pizza.

Obama went to Afghanistan, thanked the troops, and makes Romney look stupid.

Cenk at least recognizes that Obama did do this well. Politics YES. Cenk SUPPPORTS the trip on the POLITICS.

But then ... Cenk misses the point. We are removing are troops, and we will also keep helping the Afgans. Did we not do that after WWII?

Cenk is a libertarian on the international stuff. So unless we pull every American out ... then we left them ALL there. He's disingenuous on this point.
