    As many as 8 Americans dead in Afghan attack - Yahoo! News

    Where is the news media showing coffins and body bags like they did for the last 8 years?
    Where is the out rage?
    Why haven't the ones who posted this stuff here during the last 8 years still posting?
    Why haven't we left Iraq and Afghanistan yet?
    Every day, every soldier that dies, his blood is on Obama's hands.
    He can't blame Bush for this.

    I've been calling for us to leave Iraq and Afghanistan as soon as I heard that there is no political support for our troops in either theater.
    Didn't we learn anything in Vietnam?
    Obama is uncomfortable with victory in Afghanistan not to mention a time-line set.

    All that bowing he did in the middle east is really paying off. Since hope and change has kind of died off, it may be time for a new slogan. I suggest "SOS different package".

    How about we surrender to all?
    Isn't bowing to someone like surrender?
    That sounds about right!

    "Our" new slogan should be for real hope and change vote em all out.
    I will probably put this in my sig real soon!

    this just happened today. a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction, huh? you should wait at least until the 6 oclock news to expect photos of body bags (if they exist) and at least thru Sunday for "outrage", and you should probably give TF posters that you are talking about a little while to read about this, get home, eat dinner, put the kids to bed, etc.

    ps, i recommend you have a shot of your favorite liquor.

    "The suicide bomber who killed eight people inside a CIA base in Afghanistan claimed to have information about Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, and was being recruited as a double agent to infiltrate al-Qaida, a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a foreign government official confirmed Monday.
    The bombing killed seven CIA employees — four officers and three contracted security guards — and a Jordanian intelligence officer"

    When Obama screws up for 8 years straight then i would expect the same outrage. GOP has slammed Obama for everything even his wardrobe, and his birth certificate. I don't recall the left getting pissed at Bush for the way he stands, or the way he looks, or what he does or doesn't wear, or where he is from, hell, Bush calls himself a Texan and everyone knows if you aren't born in Texas you aren't a Texan.

    Just give it some time. I don't recall any armed protesters showing up at speeches Bush was at either, because if they did, they would be in Gitmo. You guys are doing just fine slamming Obama, and alot of it is for good reason, but alot of it isn't.

    Four U.S. servicemembers and a British soldier were killed in two separate improvised bomb explosions in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, foreign forces said on Monday.

    The timeline has been set and we are suppose to be leaving Afghanistan.
    How many more Americans have to die on this presidents watch?
    If you are playing to leave why stay there another day?
    It seems to me that Americans are now dying in Afghanistan for no reason at all?:insane::cuss:
    We now have Jimmy Carter the second in the White House!

    If your post was directed at me.
    I was just trying to be like some were during the whole Bush Administration for a few weeks on this board.
    There are plenty of old threads to back the fact that this stuff went on for 8 years.
    I am not sticking up for Bush either, just pointing out how one sided some have been around here.

    Its funny and Ironic that I am for a total withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan immediately compared to years past.
    Things have changed the last year or so.
