If the high number of soldiers who have died lately were truly the sole blame of President Bush and his policies in this war, that fact would be the banner headline of every major newspaper out there - to be followed by a lengthy, point by point reasoning of how it's still all Bush's fault and how Obama has absolutely nothing to do with it.
But it's not, oddly enough.
Nothing is ever reported accurately or followed consistently under a dictatorship. Like it or not, whether the majority of the people in this country are center-right thinkers or not, the government and the media are incredibly far left liberals. And their figurehead, Obama, is not to be tarnished by anything as trivial as the truth, or fact - or responsibility, for that matter.

Blame that one on the media who keeps quiet for Obamba which is different from their reporting while Bush was in power
"US Soldier dies from roadside bpmbing" plastered as headlines on their papers.
These days, they wont even bat an eyelash. Its their golden boys reign. Only positive takes on the messiah is allowed.

We are at war. Soldiers will die no matter who puts them there. If we invaded Switzerland under poplular demand and not by a President then soldiers will die. ( I tried to pick the most docile country here to prove a point) War is war and soldeirs get killed. They know that going into it.

there is extremely 3 communities, that ought to somewhat have the on going scandals, dominating the information... somewhat than the troops being killed... of course the militia complicated, the old look after Republicans, like McCain & Graham, & of course the Obama administration... Obama might somewhat positioned that off, unlit all those troops, are recalled...

The mainstream media have demonstrated that they are so far into the tank for Obama, as to have lost all credibility, except among fellow cheerleaders.

Libs hate the military and only used their deaths for political gain against Bush.

Because the news media sleeps with the president and they do not want to taint his celebrity status.

Because it doesn't matter. The fact that soldiers are dying is what's more important.......no fatalities are acceptable. Your question is ridiculous.

Barney Frank recently answered a ridiculous question in the health care debate with a response that is equally applicable here. "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"
