false comparison...that war has gone on for better than ten years that no matter who is in office is a minuscule body count

I hope you realize that every time you use facts and logic to interrupt a rightard's attempt to be a victim of something, you are victimizing them.

The war on Terror deaths (5,281) looks very much like the KIAs from Iraq only. Which you seem to have omitted as a combat "event" on your listing and which the Main Stream Media took great pride (?JOY?) in widely publicizing the number of CASKETS ARRIVING BACK IN AMERICA, DAILY, OF OUR DEAD SOLDIERS. The Iraq war was this one right here. The one that the fucking democrats were so gung-ho about until Bush said OK. We'll do it. Remember that, you PISS ANT? Didn't think so, you piece of shit. Here, let me refresh your memory.





The war on terror in Afghanistan is UP TO ALMOST 2,400. Most of the NEEDED CASKETS ARE FROM THE OBAMA ERA OF MANAGING THE WAR. Bush only had 575 of them...So nobody's counting anymore.

 

[JakeStarkey]

GWB committed the worst gaffe in American foreign policy, Porker, so, yeah, he bears the load.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

You do know that the total number of US military fatalities under Obama is less than half of what it was under Bush, right?

 

[JakeStarkey]

You do know that the total number of US military fatalities under Obama is less than half of what it was under Bush, right?

The far right neo-cons don't care. They resent that BHO pulled out of Iraq and scaled down Afghanistan.

He didn't "scale down" Afghanistan, he scaled it up - but still nowhere near the size of the war in Iraq.

Scaled it down AFTER he scaled it up. Yes, you are right.

What gaffe are you referring to Starkey? Give me a link to this blunder. I think you are full of shit. But I'll read anything you have provided it's not written by the drive-by media.

 

[Porker]

You do know that the total number of US military fatalities under Obama is less than half of what it was under Bush, right?

But UNDER OBAMA in AFGHANISTAN...it's three times as high as Bush. And nobody is counting caskets now. Iraq was a loser from the word go....but the DEMOCRATS INSISTED IN 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 AND 2002/03...THEN BY 2004 IT WASN'T THEIR IDEA.

What you think, Porker, does not change that the Iraq invasion was the worst gaffe in our foreign policy, and will always be seen as such.
