60% of U.S. Military Deaths in Afghanistan Have Occurred Since Obama Was Inaugurated in 2009
CNS Newa ^ | 4/4/11 | Edwin Mora

(CNSNews.com) – At least 858 U.S. soldiers have died in the Afghanistan war since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. That equals 60.13 percent of the 1,427 American soldier fatalities so far in the ongoing 10-year war in that country.

For March 2011, there were 26 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan, including 4 non-combat related fatalities. That brought the total combat and non-combat deaths for 2011 (January, February, and March) to 70. Those fatalities include 57 combat-related deaths and 13 non-combat deaths.

For the 858 U.S. deaths since Obama’s inauguration, 791 have been combat-related. This means that for the 1,241 combat-related deaths that occurred since the Afghanistan war began in October 2001, about 64 percent happened in the two years since Obama took office.

From what I i understand its the ROE.

Where are the libs screaming about this like they did w Bush? code Pink, michael Moore?

Uh Moore has been very outspoken in his disagreement with Obama on many things including the continuation of the war. Swing and a miss.

Not sure this is a fair criticism, because we've increased the number of troops there.

Yeah I wouldn't put this one on Obama just yet. It's unfortunate he had to fire that general. I would think that had we not scammed ourselves into going into Iraq Afghanistan would much different.

So basically it's BUSH's fault.

Oh don't even start, if there's an award to be given for the biggest petty internet stalker of Bama it goes to you. You blame Obama for everything.

and i am not knee padding for Bama

So now what's the new thing? Anyone that doesn't agree with you 100% is a kneepadder? fucking stupid.

Fact of the matter Afghanistan is a fucking mess because when we had them on the ropes ready to cave in BUSH decided he wanted to play warlord and scammed us into Iraq pulling away thousands of troops and equipment from the area. Now as a result its a mess. We should have been out of there by 2004.

Obama has been in charge 2 years. The war has been mismanaged by someone other than Bama for 7 years.

Re- read your post. Things are getting worse after 2 years and you still blame bush. Nice.

deaths in iraq soared when bush surged there with more men, more intense battles.

same thing was going to happen in afghanistan.

Wow, you're being totally petty now - it's common knowledge that casualties are going to be higher when we do this...

60% is a fact - sorry 240 - no spinning that turd. Bush got blamed for eveything under the sun 0 so does Obama - unless of course he deserves affirmative action and not be held accountable like Bush was day n and day out.

I defended the surge casualty numbers - it's gonna happen when you intensity the battle.

Why the world you bring 'affirmative action' into it...

tells me you're more concerned with race than the realities of war.

I have not been able to come up with any other reason that you and so man others give obama a such a pass on so many things. Have any other suggestions?
