70% of U.S. Military Fatalities in 11-Year Afghan War Have Occurred on Obama's Watch
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/70-us-military-fatalities-11-year-afghan-war-have-occured-obamas-watch
(CNSNews.com) - Of the 1,912 U.S. military personnel who have died in the now nearly 11-year-long war in Afghanistan, 1,343 have died since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.
Seventy percent of the Afghan War casualties have happened on Obama's watch
Anyone notice the daily death count for the military involved in the war? No!! That's right, it stops when we get a democrat in the White House. Where are the war protesters? Oh, that's right, they also disappear when we have a democrat in the White House.
God Bless the souls who died and their families. I salute you each and everyone for your service and the protection you provided for myself, my family and my country. Thank you.

Why is this in MNS? It should be put in the DUmp so the Douchebags can see it.
As for the daily death count. Don't worry, it will be back (Along with the daily gas price chart) when Romney is elected.

I will put a copy of it on the DUmp thread area...if the mods want one of them removed they can do it.

Personally, I do not care which president a soldier died under. Does not mean anything nor makes that soldier's death more or less important. They gave their lives for this country, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. It is people like them that make this country as great as it is.
I have noticed ever since Obama took office that the running death count that had become so popular under Bush has seemed to all but vanished. Under Bush, virtually every night on the mainstream news they told us what the casualty rate of the war was, even building up every symbolic number.
These days? Not so much.
In fact, under Obama, I rarely hear any news at all coming out of Afghanistan. It is as if the war suddenly disappeared. We all know this decision and selected news coverage is political, but disgusts me to some degree that our news agencies would use the death of soldiers and a body count as some form of political pawns.

The reason for the silence is because as long as you have a 'D' after your name, you can do no wrong. When Romney gets elected, you will see the death count (and gas price monitors) come back. Seeing that he has a 'R' after his name, he can do no right. It is a typical thing that the liberal hypocrites do.
