Remember the casualty counts on the front page of major papers? Remember state run media commentators reporting “another grim milestone?” Where are the antiwar rallies? Where are the “No War for Oil” signs? Where is Cindy Sheehan and Hollywood calling Obama a war criminal? Does Senator Dick Durbin still think that guards at Gitmo, which Obama promised to close, are equivalent to the Nazi concentration camp guards, the guards at Stalin’s gulags, and at Pol Pot’s killing fields? Where is all of the the left’s righteous indignation? This is further proof of their moral bankruptcy. If GWB was president, this milestone would be major headlines at the NY Times and Washington Post, and covered 24/7 on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
I think that more people have died in the US and Mexico as a result of “Fast and Furious” than have died in Afghanistan in 2011 and 2012 so the press is probably very busy reporting on that instead.
