Remember back when so-called news organizations covered tragedies like this with a finger pointed at the Commander-in-Chief?

The deaths of American sons and daughters was tallied every day, and questions about the poor leadership at the top were asked.

Imagine if George Bush were presiding over the deaths of soldiers WHILE AT THE SAME TIME his Vice-President was insisting the murderous Taliban, responsible for the soldiers' deaths, was NOT our enemy. Would the networks give a damn?

It infuriates me when NATO, and especially American, troops are killed by roadside bombs. The Afghans should be doing the patrolling, not Americans. How the hell long do these worthless people need to be TRAINED before they are capable of protecting their own families? Six more precious American young soldiers are now dead for NOTHING !

Everyday, every death was a drumbeat against the evil Bush.

I know republican folks who were so war disheartened they voted for O, because they felt we had to “stop this terrible war”.

Now the media can’t even cover it.

...the MSM usually reports “NATO” troops, they don’t clarify and get specific anymore and claim notification delay’s. even though other news groups report specific details. The media in this country was told by this administration “don’t expect info” until we tell you what to write.

If George Bush were STILL President, college and university campuses would be erupting all over the country. Student groups and their “professors” would be protesting, marching, beating drums, burning flags, and “possibly” showing compassion for fallen Americans.
Of course, each and every media outlet would be highlighting each and every fallen American, featuring video of mourning home towns, friends and grieving families.
Whoever it is who “reads” the news would solemnly intone that famous line , “THIS WAR IS LOST!”
Of course, now we have Obama, so what the hell?

Since WWII, have there been any Constitutionally-declared wars?

Have there been any total wars, where our goals were to vanquish the enemy?

Have there been any wars where the civilian population were on a wartime footing, or made any real sacrifices at all?

Have there been any wars were we used all the weapons at our disposal?

Have there been any wars that ended with unconditional surrenders?

Despite our lopsided use of the most incredible whiz bang technology, despite the bravery and training of our troops, despite enormous expenditures of blood and treasure, despite taking on enemies of small size, vastly inferior weaponry, ragtag training and logistics, we have not won a war since WWII.

And it is by design. We have not been allowed to win a war since WWII.

Allowed by whom? Our globalist politicians, in league with globalists from around the globe.

Young people need to know that when they think of signing up. There is no draft now. They make a choice to go in, as I did during Vietnam, and as with Vietnam, they will not be “defending America.”

They need to know who and what they are risking their lives for. They are not defending America, though the globalist politicians and media try to convince them they are. Indeed, all the wars since WWII have resulted in little more than loss of our sovereignty, loss of young lives, loss of fortune, and loss of national pride and cohesion. Our wars amount to follies, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing of any benefit to our country, and signifying much that undermines it.

Americans should no longer participate in such follies. The American people should demand that we enter no wars without due Constitutional process declaring such wars. The American people should demand that we enter no wars we will not fight fully, using all our weapons to the fullest, with the goal of devastating and annihilating our enemy until the few that remain beg for our mercy and surrender unconditionally. Until we are ready do that, we should no longer go to war, and our young should no longer sign up for the deadly social experiment that passes for our military.

Where are the dailey American soldier death counts on the front pages of every paper?
Oh yeah, that was during G.W.’s war not the magic negro’s war.
No bias here, move along.

Do you think that Obama cares even a little bit that six Americans were killed in Afghanistan?
It’s time to quit calling the Democrats a Party. They are an organized crime mob dedicated to looting the public treasury.
