You might not have noticed, but the war in Afghanistan recently reached a dismal milestone: the 2,000th death recorded by the U.S. military.

As The New York Times reported last week, it took nine years for American forces to record the first 1,000 deaths. The second 1,000 came in just the past 27 months — a result of intense fighting generated after President Barack Obama sent a surge of 33,000 troops into Afghanistan.

But they call Bush a war monger...look who has more blood on their hands..their democratic president

Another thing.  Obama has launched more than 5 times as many drone attacks that President Bush did.  So, not only has Obama presided over more US military deaths there, he has also killed more innocents through drone strikes.

Remember when the media counted EVERY ONE?  When they demanded to take pictures of caskets coming home?  When Democrats demanded photo-ops by those caskets?  When the media interviewed the families of those that gave their lives?

Funny how that's all changed now, isn't it?  (Oh, or is it RACIST of me to say that???)   ::)

Far be it for me to play bunny ball-buster but please let's not even come close to treating this as a political event.

This is 2000 family members we'll never see again.

I know the leftists are shit-heels about this and I could list a thousand reasons why that's true.

They're the ones whole politicize the lost. Leave it with them.



sorry and thank-you

Good point, yet it is difficult to not want to hold them to the same standards that they set.

I know, brother. I know.

I want to take their every hateful, disrespectful word and shove back down their petty little throats with a broken broom handle.

But not with this. Not this way.
