There was almost a daily death count when Bush was in office and constant anti-war press/speeches/marches/protests. You hardly see any of that now. There is no coincidence that its because Obama is in office now.
Could it because we don'l lose people there every day??
100% of the deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are caused by George Bush's LYING to engage this country in unnecessary wars there. We would NOT be there is it weren't for Bush and his warmongering band of Republican dimwits.
umm we went to Afghanistan because of the 9/11 attacks or did you forget about that already?
Where are all the Liberals that were insisting on showing the coffins of fallen soldiers as they came off the planes at Dover AFB? Why aren't they insisting that now?
Under Bush we were given an update on soldiers deaths every night on the news. They would lead with it - "yesterday 6 soldiers died, etc, etc... The media has indeed been silent under Obama.
You know, that is not true.
I do not care for Obama, but I am not going to hang a 60% increase in deaths on him. He agreed with the generals, and not a few conservatives, and sent more soldiers. More soldiers = More combat= More casualties.
Generals begged Bush for more soldiers in afganistan on numerous occasions and Bush said no, always said no and look where that has got us. Obama listened and thats why there are more troops there now.
I though Odumbo was going to bring all the soldiers home by 2011? How is that going?
THEY ARE HIS WARS NOW. EITHER HE ENDS THEM OR HE DESERVES THE SAME CRITICISM BUSH GOT.
Goodnight.
How wrong you are. These will alwys be Bush's wars. he got us into them and then screwed them both up. Obama is ending the Iraq war and will end the Afgan war. He won't leave them for the next person like Bush so famously did.
