3 times as many U.S. soldiers killed under Obama‘s 2 year watch as were under Bush's entire 8 years

There were over 4200 soldiers killed in Iraq and over 600 killed in Afghanistan while Bush was president. The totals for Obama are 208 and 803. I think the headline is incorrect.

These look like Afghanistan only statistics.

Correct headline should read:

More US soldiers killed in Afghanistan during 2 years of Obama’s compared to 8 years under Bush.

(apprx. 800 vs apprx 630)

[MrEdd]

True.

3 times the number in 2 years... means 12 times the rate of getting American killed.

and yes, the press use to name the names nightly while pushing to be able to photograph the flag draped coffins returning.

where are those photos now? where are the nightly recounts?

what about the number of injured?

if you were to hate America... and found yourself in the top spot... and had the ability to undermine and kill American troops...

Soooooo,
Why aren’t the libs and code pink harassing the “magic Negro” every minute of every day like they did Bush?

Ask questions first, and shoot later. Can't have a round in the chamber when patrolling. Miranda rights for the enemy? Let terror suspects go if they can't be brought in for questioning within 48 hours? If they shoot at you and then drop their guns and run you can't shoot them? In other words, how do you lose a war without trying?...Put the democrats in charge, that's how.

Where are they?

You said....It isn’t hard to notice how the media covers for him by saying “NATO troops”.

I heard on the radio yesterday “six NATO troops killed”, and I thought to myself - NATO troops...from what country?

Yes, the media is covering for Obama.

[dforest]

This morning on Drudge he had it as US troops.

I wasn’t surprised. Even FOX plays that game.

When will ABC’s Nightline do a special?

“I picked up the headline from another source prior to posting the article”.

Then you should have used a link to that source to avoid confusion.

When General McChrystal went to President Obama to turn in his resignation, Barack bitterly said “You’ll probably intend to piss on my grave someday.” The General replied, “No, Sir, once I’m out of this man’s Army, I’m not standing in line for anything ever again!”
