Just In Case You Cared-106 U.S. Soldiers, 1342 Civilians Killed Since Obama Took Control

In the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...

Just in case you forgot, Americans are STILL fighting and dying in two overseas wars, and innocent civilians continue to die in horrible ways.

I can see how this could slip your mind, as you will no longer see ANY mention of these, AT ALL, on any alphabet network evening news shows.

The "Daily Death Count Update's!" on the 30 minute network news broadcasts ENDED on Nov 4, the day Obama was elected. With a Democrat in the White House, American Soldier Deaths are no longer even WORTH reporting, as they now have more important things to cover, such as what the new Obama dog pee'd on today, or what off-the-rack dress Michelle Obama is wearing!

NOW THAT IS HARD NEWS!

No longer do they report the "Significant Milestones" of what they described as "Failure" when casualties reached 500, 1,000, 4,000 etc.

No longer do they breathlessly tell us how American bombs killed women and children, or how suicide bombers killing children was BUSH'S FAULT, every single night.

No longer do we have Mainstream media reporting unsubstantiated and inflated claims of civilian casualties by Communist academics as FACT, without ever checking for themselves.

I find myself growing more incensed as each day passes. It's become CLEAR, even to the blind, that the Mainstream liberal media only used our casualties for the purpose of hurting Bush, and electing a DEMOCRAT.

Our soldiers, (including my own family), were used as PAWNS by a leftist media intent on correcting the "Mistake" that we "Stupid Voters" made in electing Bush in 2000. Every single event involving casualties, both civilian and military, was covered breathlessly by the media, with outrageous reported numbers of civlian dead fed to the sheeple, and never corrected later when the facts came out.

And now, they fight and die in anonimity, because it's an "inconvenient truth" to the Obama media worshippers to report what is happening overseas.

CHANGE! has arrived...

(PS-NONE of this includes civilians killed in Pakistan since Obama took over. It seems NO ONE is bothering to track that, anymore.)

Yes, this is a rant. But I can no longer sit back and let this happen. And it's up to US, as a group, to remember what the liberal media has CHOSEN to forget.

Namely, our family and friends giving thier blood to protect this country, IN SPITE of the Moron-in-chief!

(The counts come from a variety of sires, including Icasualties, and Iraq body count)

Important reminder! There are increasing suicide bombings in Iraq as well..but the media is not covering them either.

We all know why. God bless your family members for their service and sacrifice.

Back page, smallish-like 1/100th of a column.

Of course.

"FRACKING Vultures they are."

You're [being] very charitable, SR. {g}

Nothing a good hard punch to their chops wouldn't *cure*. ;^)

Does George Snuffleupagus still end his Sunday morning shill with a list (and usually photos) of those killed?
