How convenient for your argument.

His INACTIONS are directly leading to deaths.

See the surge for proof of how troop levels are directly related to troop deaths.
The situations on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq are completely different you can't compare the surge for one to a possible surge for the other.

There is quite a difference in making a decision when US troops are NOT in harms way, and making decisions when they are.

That is like comparing making the decision between what to do if a car is sitting in the intersection as the light turns green vs. what to do if you are going into an intersection at 50MPH and a car runs a red light in front of you.

Surely you can see the difference.

I have no opinion on that...I do have an opinion on Iraq which to me was great to get that dictator out so freedom is over there and the dictator who went into Kuwait and into Iran and killed even his own family members....

great job Bush!

U.S. Casualties in Iraq

Time to start accepting some responsibility for actions/inactions of the WH in regard to our serviceman overseas.

The fact that you "chuckle" at all is disgusting at best.
Get over yourself drama queen. Yeah, I'm all for our soldiers dying over there, I LOVE to hear about it. Am I being dishonest? Am I really? Prove it big guy, prove that I haven't heard w/my own ears for all these months & years that each month I seem to hear "this is the deadliest month". That's right, you can't prove it so keep your little snide remarks to yourself.

Hell, McCain said it back in Jan. The fact remains that most of the Iraq fighting was done in urban areas, the areas in Afghanistan where the fighting is taking place is very rural and the terrain is rugged

And put those who were behind the 9/11 attacks and our biggest threats on the back burner in the process in order to go after someone who with Reagan's help killed people.

You have no opinion on Afghanistan....yet isn't Afghanistan where al-qaeda was based? Isn't that why we started these wars, because of al-qaeda? You know, the group that attacked the U.S.? You've also heard of the Taliban, yes? You have no opinion on that group & their hideous shenanigans?

He needs to remove all of the troops in Afghanistan. Let the people of that country settle their own mess. It is just too strange now that we have a new president killings have so markedly increased in that mountain poppy field area.

Please Mr. President remove the troops NOW!

We are getting more involved in that area which has been going downhill for several years.
