Did you know that More soldiers have died in Afghanistan under Obama than under Bush?

Even this leftist rag had to admit it. Where are all the leftists that were so anti-war when Bush was in office? I take their silence as admission of hypocrisy.

Now I do.
Remember during Bush when every liberal rag would post daily the deaths tolls in Iraq?
That stopped immediately when Obama was elected.
No bias there!

because Bush chosen to invade Iraq and go away Afghanistan contained in the decrease back burner, unresolved. Had we not lengthy gone into Iraq we would were waiting to leave Afghanistan a lengthy time period in the past and a lot of those infantrymen would nevertheless be alive. Obama inherited that mess and had to cope with it.

The left was upset at the war in IRAQ, not Afghanistan. They questioned why we were attacking a country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks and had not attacked us.
When Obama pulled troops from Iraq, he put additional troops in Afghanistan, which is why we have a higher death toll.
Of course you don't care for reasoning or explanations, you just want to blame the left. I think you'd be happy about this, after all righties are always happy when the poor die aren't they?

The day I watched the planes fly into the World Trade Center I knew that Bush would over react and manage to bury the country in debt. Unfortunately Obama has raised the stakes in Afghanistan a war which is un win able due to the President that we put in office and have supported and is so corrupt that his own people don't support him. Obama wasn't smart enough to see the trap he was walking into.

First, it was Bush who started the boondoggle.
Second, the number is much smaller when you compare it to how many lives we lost in Iraq: some 30,000 civilians and some 4,000 U.S. military.
Also, Obama has stuck to his promise of gradually withdrawing some troops starting in July 2012.

That is because there are more troops in Afghanistan now then under Bush...

Whatever this marxist does is fine with the left, it's not his fault. When gas prices rose to $3 a gallon under Bush they blamed him, but now they say nobama has nothing to do with gas prices. They kiss his a_s_s and are too stupid to realize how he is screwing them. Liberalism has to be an illness, there's no other reasonable explanation.

Yeah.
But, it was a bad war under Bush.
It is a good war under Obama.
(only pretending to be a liberal.)

Obama caved into the right when he agreed to the surge.
In an attempt at keeping extreme rightists who are prone to violence themselves, he put more American soldiers in harms way with no apparent benefit. Afghanistan doesn't want us there and the sooner the President realizes this the less Americans will die needlessly.
