Republican Sen. Richard Burr is heading to Afghanistan later this week.

News of the trip was disclosed at an economic conference Monday morning in Durham by Bob Ingram, a close friend of Burr, who introduced the senator, a Republican from Winston-Salem. No details of the trip were immediately available.

The Burr trip comes at a critical time when the administration of President Barack Obama is deciding whether to increase the U.S. troop commitment to that country to fight the Taliban.

Why isn't this on the front page? It deserves as much scrutiny as Perdue's trip to China. Guess he's got the wrong letter after his name.

Isn't it about time for Karl Rove recruit Burr to be against winning in Afghanistan since that guy born in Kenya most Americans voted for wants to?

I'm just saying.

Can't wait for the report from the ground, Dick, or nearest ATM you happen to send Brooke to, you Wall Street Bailout supporter that hates socialism.
