Under the old boss this would get responses of ware crimes, frog marching, a hanging after being tried at the Hague and so on....

US troop deaths double in Afghanistan
   
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_afghanistan_war_deaths

KABUL – The number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan has roughly doubled in the first three months of 2010 compared to the same period last year as Washington has added tens of thousands of additional soldiers to reverse the Taliban's momentum.

Those deaths have been accompanied by a dramatic spike in the number of wounded, with injuries more than tripling in the first two months of the year and trending in the same direction based on the latest available data for March.

U.S. officials have warned that casualties are likely to rise even further as the Pentagon completes its deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and sets its sights on the Taliban's home base of Kandahar province, where a major operation is expected in the coming months.

2. This one will be known as Obama's War.

So where are the calls for impeachment?

3. i'm surprised this made the news. the media doesn't seem to feel compelled to report on wars.

Which is a huge favor to Obama. When Bush was in office they reported day and night about it.

4. God help us. Bring Them Home!!!!!

You guys have control of all 3 houses.

Come on DUmmies this stuff was an impeachable offense when Bush was in office. Now all you do is cry a little, shrug your shoulders and say "Yay we won on health care".

What happened to those DUmp scoreboards, where democrats used to keep daily track of KIAs, and celebrate each new milestone?

Yeah, some DUmmy used to post the daily death count when Bush was President.

It must be because Bush is no longer in office that they no longer care what happens to those in uniform.

Naw - ya think?
In reality, the DUmmy scumbags NEVER cared about those in uniform.

But they posted crying smilies with the death count and everything.

Bringing the troops home doesn't get them any freebies, so no, they don't give a crap.

Nope - as a matter of fact, I suspect Obama & at least some of his primitives realize that if the troops return now, that unemployment is going to skyrocket. as well as Obama's woes.

The last thing Obama needs are angry unemployed military who typically vote conservative home in time for elections.

Its so much harder to lose/misplace/misappropriate ballots when the people are voting locally.

Especially if those military members realize what Teh Wun is doing to the Constitution . . . and they decide to do something about it.

That's it! Frogmarch Obama!
