What Obama was really doing in Denmark

This is the real reason why Obama went to Copenhagen. General Stanley McChrystal flew up there for the speech. Obama was there for less than 5 hours and gave an embarrassing speech for Chicago. If you recall up to 2 days before had we weren't even told Obama was going. McChrystal gave that speech on Afghanistan and suddenly they both end up in Denmark for an unscheduled trip.

Rare Photo Taken in Afghanistan

Sometimes geopolitical events warp our perception. This picture kind of surprised me a bit because I had never given thought to the wildlife in Afghanistan. This rare photo of a snow leopard was taken with a camera trap in the Wakhan Corridor in northeastern Afghanistan.
