How many has it been in the Zero's time in office

From what I've found, there have been about 730 total deaths since the invasion of 2001, with over 220 occurring since 0Bama took office. This past August was the deadliest month since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan.

Obozo is gonna get more good people killed by at least an order of magnitude more than anything the left ever accused Bush of doing, and yet we'll never hear a peep of it.

Asshats.

Worse, even, you KNOW the left'll blame all of this--this "necessary war" (Obama's words)--on the Bush administration.

True.....but then also, the boy is a little slow on the uptake.

On most things yes.  But someone has gotten in his ear on this and told him that politically he needs to wait this out until things quiet down and that way he won't have to mess with it again until April 2010.

And given the beating he's taken from his own party...he's listening to whoever is telling him this crap.

Someone with true knowledge needs to tell him the truth and in a quick and a hurry before more precious troops die

Here is something for you... What if the Taliban DON'T pull back into the mountains this winter?  That would be the equivalent of a "Tet" and an excuse for Obama's  media whores to demand a pullout NOW.

Which was rewritten history by the left in this country. The Tet Offensive was a win for the US as the Viet Cong was essentially annihilated during Tet. The left portrays is as a win for North Vietnam. ...but what the hell, they try to rewrite everything. History be damned if it doesn't go along with their warped viewpoint.

If they were to do that...unless they've established supply bases of a size we don't know about yet in Afghanistan....then they'll cut off their only guaranteed escape route away from coalition forces.

Haji does some dumb stuff...but they aren't stupid.

True, and I have no doubt that we will wipe out 70% of the Taliban just like we did VC back in 68.

But in context of today's "in the tank" Media we may have a win, but once again Media will spin it into a loss.

All Obama needs is an excuse to pull out.. legit or not.  The Media spin gives him the excuse.

For the same reason Vietnam Vet's called the NVA "Charlie".  It's a slang term.  Generic catch all term for Muslim bad guys.

They will take 65-70% casualties if they can influence American public opinion with the help of the Leftists in the News Media.  

The headlines in the NY Times and  Washington Post:  US unprepared for Taliban Offensive, and the lefties in Congress pull the plug.

True.  They don't have the same value on human life that we do.  they use that against us all the time.

Hopefully I can get there before the idiots from the lefty fish wrap shift their base of operations from the Green Zone in Baghdad to Kandahar and get some journalists pointed in a direction that doesn't lead to that kind of lazy story writing.

It will take a hardy soul to embed at a forward operating base in the middle of the Afghan winter.   Most Press I know wouldn't leave the "comfy" confines of Kabul or Bagram.
