As the U.S. military under the Obama administration increases efforts in Afghanistan and the surrounding region, there will be more American casualties, Vice President Biden said this morning on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"I hate to say it, but yes, I think there will be," Biden said in response to a question from host Bob Schieffer. "There will be an uptick. Because as the commander in Afghanistan said, he said, 'Joe, we will get this done, but we're going to be engaging the enemy much more.'"
The Obama administration has "inherited a real mess," Biden said. "We're about to go in and try to essentially reclaim territory that's been effectively lost." The training of Afghan police and military personnel has been problematic, he said. "Some of our allies who have committed to train these troops did not do them well," Biden said.

I can just see the commander calling the vice president of the United States, “Joe.” Right, sure.

The Obama administration has "inherited a real mess," Biden said. He's lucky. He could have inherited the Bill Clinton mess.

"We're about to go in and try to essentially reclaim territory that's been effectively lost." The training of Afghan police and military personnel has been problematic, he said. "Some of our allies who have committed to train these troops did not do them well," Biden said. Well, so much for asking those "allies" for continued help and support. Looks like the Bush coalition has just been dissolved.

Get ready for the American human shield in Afghanistan. This is what always happens when friggin DS Dems run a war. They have no respect for the soldier.

You know the Democrats are running things when Americans start dying in places we have no compelling national interest as opposed to those where we do.
