70% of U.S. Military Fatalities in 11-Year Afghan War Have Occurred on Obama’s Watch

(CNSNews.com) – Of the 1,912 U.S. military personnel who have died in the now nearly 11-year-long war in Afghanistan, 1,343 have died since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.

Seventy percent of the Afghan War casualties have happened on Obama’s watch.

The war in Afghanistan started on Oct. 7, 2001, when the United States invaded that country to track down al Qaeda terrorists and overthrow the Taliban regime that had provided sanctuary to al Qaeda in the years before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Yeah, it’s funny how we never see any more of those “grim milestone” stories in the MSM…

The wars are so scarcely mentioned anymore, a casual observer would think they’re over……..but of course, that’s the point, isn’t it?

Methinks أوباما is into snuff films. That’s why he sends out the drones.

I’ll bet most of his supporters believe that all the troops who left Iraq are home, too.

There sure are a lot of them here in Kuwait. (15,000 or so)
