Hi,

Just read the following on the Yahoo website:

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/66-killed-august-becomes-deadliest-month-10-afghanistan-153012069.html

Kind of makes you wonder if it would not be the lead story of most every newspaper and TV news broadcast in the nation if Bush were president....

I don't wonder at all. I know it would be banner headlines.

I seem to recall last August was also the deadliest month in Afghanistan. Sadly it seems to be a new trend.
If Bush was still POTUS the media would still be doing the daily body counts.  :banghead:

Impossible for me to see a positive outcome to this based on Obama's timetable for unassing the place.
