Good on him;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Air Force One landed at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan, after an overnight flight from Washington. Obama was scheduled to spend just a few hours on the base and had no plans to travel to Kabul, the capital, to meet with Hamid Karzai, the mercurial president who has had a tumultuous relationship with the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s surprise trip came as the U.S. and NATO withdraw most of their forces ahead of a year-end deadline.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If I&#8217;m not mistaken, it&#8217;s the first time he&#8217;s been there since he was running for president in 2008.
