U.S. Casualty Rate in Afghanistan

Where's the anti-war protest? Why is this not brought up by those who were critical when Bush was in charge?

Because it's different if Obama does it!

A supporter of George Soros would know all about that, I suppose.

I wonder if anyone else finds it interesting that mainstream media is not reporting the losses as they did during the Bush years. IMO either that information is being suppressed or the media is showing their liberal bias again in not wanting to make their liberal darling president look bad.

I just found it interesting that teabaggers can slam any news source taking money from Goeroge Soros, and yet continue to use CNS as a reliable source when they are sponsored as well.

Even more interesting is the fact that this benefactor isn't named in this plea for your cash....... Now why would that be?

Yeah, we learned from FAUX News that you can't trust any news source that is bought and paid for by someone with their own agenda...... So why doesn't CNS name their sponsor?

Sounds to me like CNS is part of the MCM - Master Card Media!

Does that mean you want the media to go back to the good old days where the White House forbid video of our brave soldier's coffins?

What is it with you? Just because CNN or the AP did not run this story it is not true or accurate? Come on, I thought you were smarter than this. Prove to me that this is not the case and I will gladly retract what I said. Don’t argue about the source, just the facts and numbers. If you can’t prove it, shut up!!

Seems to me they have and gone one step further to forbid any mention of how many coffins there are these days.
Got a better explanation for why there isn't a peep in the mainstream media about the casualty count or is your bray worn out for the day, Eeyore?

Save the USA send more republicans to afghanistan

Members of your little party, the ones wearing three cornered hats, have already said that no news source can be considered reliable when they are influenced by outside financial help.

If this is the case, then why should anyone give any credibility to a supposed news source that not only accepts such funds, but actually begs for it on every page of their website?

If you expect anyone to discuss such an issue, then I would suggest you rely on a credible source...... Sorry, but that's your teabagger's rules!

Eeyore? Must mean that you're Dumbo!

I'm sorry that the news sources you have decided to use to control your life doesn't provide you with the real facts. Until you change your viewing habits, good luck on your flight lessons!

Ummm...

1) Because people can understand a little more why we are in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban AND THOSE WHO FLEW PLANES INTO OUR BUILDINGS on 9/11 as opposed to spreading freedoom to a country that doesn't want us there and had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.

2) I noticed your "news" article mentions NOTHING about the reduced number of US casualties of the Iraq war since Obama took office (60 in 2010 vs 904 in 2007).

3) I have heard the MSM mention Afghanistan casualties quite often so maybe it's a case of selective listening on the author's part.

From the article:

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.

---Lets flip these numbers...k?

From 2003 through 2008 58.63 US troops died while serving in Iraq.

Since Obama took office in 2009 that number has dropped to 8.71 per month.

You see? Both sides can use fuzzy math and use our soldier's deaths to score political points.

F'ing chumps.

On CNN they where showing the good things done, but in Iraq all we got was how many carbombs.
