Earlier on Sunday, Obama had breakfast with US troops in Kabul and talked about their experiences in the country, which has seen a sharp rise in violence this year. The Illinois senator will also visit Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and Britain on a foreign tour he hopes will help answer Republican criticism that he does not have the experience to be commander-in-chief of America's armed forces.
