"Grim US milestone in Afghan conflict; 1,000 troops dead in war" by Robert H. Reid, Associated Press | May 29, 2010
KABUL, Afghanistan — The American military death toll in Afghanistan reached 1,000 at a time when President Obama’s strategy to turn back the Taliban is facing its greatest test — an ambitious campaign to win over a disgruntled population in the insurgents’ southern heartland.
More casualties are expected when the campaign kicks into high gear this summer. The results may determine the outcome of a nearly nine-year conflict that became “Obama’s war’’ after he decided to shift the fight against Islamist militancy from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Afghan insurgents find sanctuary.
The grim milestone was reached in a roadside bombing just before the Memorial Day weekend, when America honors the dead in all its wars....
Already the new focus on the once-forgotten Afghan war has come at a heavy price.
Actually, I am SICK of the SHIT JOURNALISM and INSULTS!!!
FORGOTTEN by WHO, MSM?
YOU?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has NEVER BEEN FORGOTTEN HERE!!!
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More than 430 of the US dead were killed after Obama took office in January 2009.
I'm sorry, but WHO CARES ANYMORE?
Don't like it?
Then BRING THEM ALL HOME NOW!
The number of US troops in Afghanistan has now surpassed the total in Iraq — about 94,000 in Afghanistan compared with 92,000 in Iraq, where the war is winding down....
I will BELIEVE THAT when there is NOT ONE SINGLE U.S. SOLDIER or CONTRACTOR in that nation.
Until then, the MSM can shove the same lies they have been telling us for years!
The tally is based on Defense Department reports of deaths suffered as a direct result of the Afghan conflict, including personnel assigned to units in Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Uzbekistan. Other news organizations count deaths suffered by service members assigned elsewhere as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, which includes operations in the Philippines, and the Horn of Africa, and at the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
At least 675 troops from allied countries have died in the war, according to an AP tally based on announcements of foreign governments. They include 288 British service members.
Establishing the number of Afghan dead is far more difficult, particularly for the first several years of the war....
You know, the PEOPLE WE HAVE KILLED!!!!

Oh, MILLIONS THERE, too, huh?
The 1,000th US death comes midway between the president’s decision last December to send 30,000 more US troops to Afghanistan and a gut check on the war’s progress that he has promised by the end of the year.
Makes you want to puke.
And END by the end of the year, MSM?
WHY the LIE?
After a long and wrenching conflict in Iraq — which has claimed nearly 4,400 American military lives — Obama has promised not to be backed into an open-ended war in Afghanistan. He has insisted that some US troops will come home beginning in July 2011.
That is NOT the END of THIS YEAR, MSM!
What LIARS!!!
Can NOT BELIEVE a DAMN WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like these polls:
Most Americans — 52 percent — say the war is not worth the cost.
TRY 75% or MORE, MSM!
Sigh!
The negative assessment in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll followed a brief rise in support for the war after Obama refocused the US war plan last year.
In an AP-GfK Poll in March, the public was about split: 50 percent said they opposed the war and 46 percent favored it. That was within the poll’s margin of error.
That is SUCH BULLSHIT!
Even the people who were for the thing want out now.
The ONLY ONES who want to stay are the DRUG-LAUNDERING BANKS, WAR-PROFITEERS, and INTELLIGENCE-BACKED DRUG SMUGGLERS -- and their agenda-pushing, mouthpiece MSM of AmeriKa!
In the poll, 57 percent said they would oppose sending more troops to Afghanistan and 49 percent approved of the job Obama is doing on Afghanistan. That’s equal to his overall approval rating and one of the higher ratings he gets on any issue.
Wait a minute: HOW can his OVERALL APPROVAL RATING be 49 when Afghanistan is one of his HIGHER RATINGS!!
I mean, the MATH DOESN'T ADD UP, Americans!
What it does add up to is JUST ANOTHER WAR-PROMOTING MSM LIE, America!!!!
