How many Americans did Bush kill with drones? How many 16 year old Americans, innocent 16 year olds did Bush kill? Obama raised the drone program epict proportions actually making him a war criminal.
So you supported Bush?
Obama voted for the war in Afghanistan, he had his surge, and he has admitted failure. That is after Bush had already achieved our objective of removing the Taliban and their haven in Afghanistan. And need I remind you that the deaths under Obama in Afghanistan far exceeded those under Bush.
Obama raised the drone program, which I'm assuming has been going on for a while. He can't just have plucked them out of the air. They are the future of modern warfare. How many US troops did he not kill?
Seriously, Bush went into Afghanistan and Iraq and got potentially hundreds of thousands of people killed. Obama took over and instead of putting US soldiers's lives at risk, he used drones.
I can't say I support what he's doing, I think he should have tried to pull out. However he has a lot of considerations as president, and he would have been majorly attacked by the right for doing so.
As for whether the deaths under Obama exceeded those of Bush, I'd say that the situation there was very different after Bush left than after the initial "victory" when the Taliban were weakened and before the Pakistanis were sending loads of kids there and other countries were moving in like the Chechens etc.
Just throwing statistics around doesn't show you the major picture.
I don't support Obama or Bush's actions in Afghanistan and I'm not going to argue that Obama could and should have pulled out, but he didn't.
What do you think the US death toll there would have been had he not used drones?
