Afghanistan Casualty Rate Increased 5-Fold Under Obama

Afghanistan Casualty Rate Increased 5-Fold Under ObamaWhere is the outrage in the media about the increased military casualty rate as we saw them report when President Bush.was in office? This is just one more example piled on top of the stinking pile of crap we call “Typical Liberal Media Hypocrisy and Corruption”.

The average monthly casualty rate for U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan has increased 5-fold since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.

1,540 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Oct. 7,2001, when U.S. forces began action in that country to oust the Taliban regime that had been harboring al Qaeda and to track down and capture or kill al Qaeda terrorists.

During the Bush presidency, which ended on Jan. 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Obama, U.S. troops were present in Afghanistan for 87.4 months and suffered 570 casualties—a rate of 6.5 deaths per month.

During the Obama presidency, through today, U.S. troops have been present in Afghanistan for 29.1 months and have suffered 970 casualties —a rate of 33.3 deaths per month.

Ultra-Corrupt Nancy Pelosi Wealth Rose 62% During Recession

Fitting that one of the most incompetent, most corrupt members of our government is also one of the most wealthy.
Was she using government information and pull to make her investments more lucrative?

I’d like to see an investigation into Nancy Pelosi’s finances to see if there may have been some laws broken in the process of getting rich during the worst recession since the Great Depression.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities.

For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) also remained a multimillionaire. He reported that his minimum net worth in 2010 was close to $2.1 million, with zero liabilities. His 2009 minimum net worth was more than $1.8 million.

Bipartisan Group of Lawmakers Sue President Obama Over ‘Illegal’ War in Libya

Obama’s military action in Libya has violated the 1973 War Powers Resolution because Mr. Obama sent our military to war without the consent of Congress.

Now a bipartisan group of lawmakers is filing a lawsuit against Mr. Obama to protect the American People from our incompetent President, who feels that he can do anything he likes because, as most Democrats feel, he is above the law.

A bipartisan group of House members announced on Wednesday that it is filing a lawsuit charging that President Obama made an illegal end-run around Congress when he approved U.S military action against Libya.

“With regard to the war in Libya, we believe that the law was violated. We have asked the courts to move to protect the American people from the results of these illegal policies,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who led the 10-member anti-war coalition with Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.).

The White House is expected on Wednesday to deliver to Congress a much-anticipated report detailing military activity in Libya.

According to Kucinich, the suit will challenge the Obama administration’s “circumvention of Congress
