The war in Afghanistan is President Obama's war and partly of the president's choosing. Sure, Obama inherited the conflict. Bush initiated the military action in Afghanistan after 9/11 -- and then veered into Iraq before the war in Afghanistan was resolved. Yet Obama, after much deliberation, decided to change the nature of the Afghanistan war. In December, following many weeks of review, he announced he would send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, and he embraced the counterinsurgency plan proposed by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who was then commanding U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Six American service members and at least a dozen civilians died in attacks Saturday in Afghanistan's volatile east and south, adding to a summer of escalating violence as Taliban militants push back against stepped-up operations by international and Afghan forces.


As far as I'm concerned Obama owns the Afghanistan War and the outcome!! Since everything he touches turns to shit I can only assume this war is a loser for the USA.

And there in lies the pervasive bias, in question, that which is NOT reported vs that which is

LOL, this is hilarious. 

The right wing, torn between its love of war and its hatred of Obama.

<<I dislike both [war and Obama.]>>

Gimme a break.  You supported every war and invasion the U.S. has undertaken since the end of WWII, and you'd support an attack on Iran too if Bush started it.

I protested the War of The Roses!

Of course Iran needs to stop with the Nukes -- war is their choice.

Also keep in mind, War was also Saddam's choice, in both Gulf Wars.  He was given an ultimatum.  He chose the option of going to war, on both occasions, expecting the "international community" & UN to come to his rescue.

He chose wrong

LOL.  Do you ever stop to count how many impoverished, Third World nations with totally underdeveloped military capacities "choose" to fight the most powerful nation on the planet, the U.S.A., while those countries best able to punch back, including those with nukes, just don't seem to make that "choice?"  Don't you ever wonder, Gee, what got into them anyway?
