US Deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan More than Double Under Barack Obama's Command

In the English Department at Missouri State University every day, I had to walk past the a mosaic of George W. Bush made up of pictures of dead soldiers. There was a lot of hate directed on that professors office door for passing students to see, and something tells me if I passed by there today, there wouldn't be an equal for Barack Obama, who lied to our Republic about the wars too.



In the media, it's rarely heard as well. At a certain point in the wars, when the polling numbers favoring the wars started to level off, the mainstream media began using the soldiers' deaths to build rhetoric against the Bush and the wars. You don't hear the grim reports of soldiers dying in Irag and Afghanistan like you did daily during the Bush administration.

Don't you remember the controversies, including blaming Bush for the soldiers not having as much armor to protect them? Now they have more armor, and guess what? More soldiers are dying. Perhaps it's no wonder the media isn't giving you these numbers. The amount of deaths under the command of Barack Obama in two years outnumbers the deaths under George W. Bush in 7.5 years. This is while Iraq is supposedly winding down and we are nearing the deadline for troops to come home, although, that is a lie too.
