Yes - in his first 2009, and his murderous ROE that give the Taliban the advantage - we lost twice the number of troops than in the highest previous year.
In 2010, it TRIPLED.
2011 had more than 2010 - and the press was quiet.
And the politicians wee quiet.
And the American people were watching Dancing With the Stars
And VERY FEW on FR wanted to hear about it.
And I am fed up with the lot.
(I’ve noticed that another layer of FR’s - ones who DID care, (like SandRat and JVeritas) are gone. Wish I knew where. I would join them)
US says it’s steadfast in rebuilding Afghanistan
By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press – 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. diplomat in Kabul and A CAMPAIGN ADVISOR to President Barack Obama said Sunday the U.S. isn’t rethinking its commitment to Afghanistan after violent protests left more than two dozen people dead, including two Americans shot inside a government ministry.
U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and ROBERT GIBBS , OBAMA’S FORMER PRESS SECRETARY, said they believe Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s fragile government could collapse and the Taliban would regain power if the U.S. were to walk away.
