(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The Taliban are good ‘students,’ aren’t they.
Oh, say can you see the last US forces left in Afghanistan, which by rights should be green glass...
And the gardens of Kabul’s now blasted to bits, like the entire countryside, poppies not ‘ncluded.
So, Osama’s now dead. Was in Pakistan, too.
But, hey, so we’re told, not a single soul knew.
We brave men and women of the US forces say, how many more must die so 0bama gets his prize?
Quote: “I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank.

Under Obama, U.S. Casualty Rate in Afghanistan Increased 5-Fold
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
(CNSNews.com) - The average monthly casualty rate for U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan has increased 5-fold since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.
1,540 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Oct. 7,2001, when U.S. forces began action in that country to oust the Taliban regime that had been harboring al Qaeda and to track down and capture or kill al Qaeda terrorists.
During the Bush presidency, which ended on Jan. 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Obama, U.S. troops were present in Afghanistan for 87.4 months and suffered 570 casualties—a rate of 6.5 deaths per month.
During the Obama presidency, through today, U.S. troops have been present in Afghanistan for 29.1 months and have suffered 970 casualties—a rate of 33.3 deaths per month.

There is something to be said for Rush babies... or out of the mouths of Rush babies!
I just spit beer on the table — too funny!!!!!
Thank you for reporting that.
While he is speaking no radio, no TV for me. I will depend on the posts here on FR to pass along if there is one news worthy item in his "speech".
If Obozo adopted my plan he could withdraw the entire US Army from Afghanistan. Because my plan relies only on the Air Force and the Navy:
Carpet-bomb the evil Taliban scum to hell with B-52’s and then bring in the Seabees with dozers to bury the remains.
Thanks.
great post on stats!
Uh, where is code Pink...oh, yeah, the Gaza Flotilla.
No sandals in Libya either! Good one!

Good to hear that!
To tell you the truth, when I do blog, in regards to Obama speeches, I keep the amonut posted to a small amount, for sanity’s sake.
Great find!!!!
But that don't jive with the election.
So screw the women and children of Afghanistan! Welcome back Taliban! We want to negotiate with you even though we kicked your a** we will let you back in.
It’s all about politics.
