Senator John Barasso visits Afghanistan with bragging rights on the Wyoming Cowgirls
U.S. Sen. David "Poopy Pants" Vitter is making his first visit to Afghanistan this week as part of a congressional delegation with U.S. Sen. John Barrasso R. Wyo. He visited Iraq in 2006 and 2007.
Curiously in the Press Release from John Barasso's office - "Barrasso in Afghanistan to Thank Troops" he forgets to mention that Vitter accompanied him but did mention Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense, Mr. Robert Hood was with the delegation
Here is an Audio clip which provides a useful insight into current conditions in Afghanistan where troops have been stationed for 13 months.
A major concern of the troopers from Wyoming was news of The Wyoming Cowgirls who finished the season with a 24-6 record, and were selected to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. They all wanted to know more about Hanna Zavecz 2007-8 All American Candidate
“Every Wyoming soldier I met with in Afghanistan talked about the Cowgirl basketball team,” Barrasso said. “We are all so proud of what they have accomplished this year. Their hard work and dedication led to the one of the most successful seasons in the history of the program. I know they will continue to make us all very proud.”
