Top Obama aide to visit Afghanistan, Pak, India

Jones, who will also visit India, will meet local officials, US diplomats, military personnel and representatives of foreign nations battling alongside US troops in the Afghan war coalition.

"At the request of the president, national security advisor Jim Jones is traveling to Afghanistan and Pakistan to follow-up on the implementation of our new, comprehensive strategy," said National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer.

2. Yeah. Good idea. But, not to worry...
Mike Hammer, psychopathic, sadistic, misogynist rogue detective is speaking for the National Security Council.
