Where are the mournful daily casualty reports on MSNBC and CNN?
Oh, wait. There’s a Democrat in the White House. Never mind.
But Iraq’s auctioning of its oil leases has gone mostly to Europeans, Russians, and Chinese — not Americans.
Thank you Iraq.
Well, it's not quite as simple as that. I believe that most Freepers, and probably most patriots, are conflicted on Obama's handling of the Afghan war. Yes, we support it. But we do NOT support the deadly rules of engagement, or the constant court martialing of our troops for doing their jobs, or the public announcement of a deadline for withdrawal, or what seems to be Obama's determination to lose this war, injure and kill our troops, and refuse to do what needs to be done to achieve any kind of victory.
Most of us aren't quite ready to say that we should leave. But few of us support Obama's determination to sacrifice our troops when he seemingly has no intention of winning. That is only justifiable if it enables us to hold on until we get a decent Commander in Chief back into the White House.
Americans are not dying in Iraq as they were from 2006 to 2008. Twice as many Americans have died in Afghanistan this year as in Iraq. As of this writing, in December, there have been four coalition fatalities. That's about one-tenth of the number of people murdered per month in Chicago in 2008.Thanks neverdem.
