Under Obama, U.S. Casualty Rate in Afghanistan Increased 5-Fold

(CNSNews.com) - The average monthly casualty rate for U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan has increased 5-fold since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.

1,540 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Oct. 7,2001, when U.S. forces began action in that country to oust the Taliban regime that had been harboring al Qaeda and to track down and capture or kill al Qaeda terrorists.

During the Bush presidency, which ended on Jan. 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Obama, U.S. troops were present in Afghanistan for 87.4 months and suffered 570 casualties—a rate of 6.5 deaths per month.

During the Obama presidency, through today, U.S. troops have been present in Afghanistan for 29.1 months and have suffered 970 casualties—a rate of 33.3 deaths per month.

“I” have directed

“I” have ordered

“I” inherited this situation

“As the Commander in CHIEF, I...I...I...I...I...I....I....”

“WE” (YOU) need to be lectured at ...

[magellan]

Crap. Already had to down two glasses.

You know what the lying turd is going to say. The only question is how many times the POS will say-I, me, mine.

“Remember: Every time the Teleprompter in Chief says ‘I’ or ‘me’, ya gotta drink!”

I’ve been drunk for three straight years already with this poser at the helm, LOL!

I literally just muted the TV in the other room. I cannot stand the sound of his voice.

I know; I sound like I have Bush/Palin Derangement Syndrome, LOL!

I’ll just read all about it, here... :)

I'll wait to see the comments.

I become literally nauseated every time I see his face or hear his voice.

I don't know if I can last another year and half......
