OBAMA'S CASUALTIES

More than seventy-one percent of all U.S. wounded (9,256) from the 9-year-old war in Afghanistan have occurred in the 22 months since President Barack Obama became Commander in Chief on January 20, 2009. Some 6,566 Americans have been wounded since Obama began his ill-advised surge in February 2009. Is this the change Americans wanted when they voted for Barack Obama?

Nearly 600 americans have been wounded in Afghanistan every month since June 2010.

As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama called for a greater focus on the war in Afghanistan and a troop "surge". During his first month in office Obama authorized the deployment of 17,000 additional troops on February 17, 2009. By December 2009, Obama had called for 30,000 more troops to be sent to Afghanistan. More than 6,500 Americans have been severely wounded as a result of Obama's surge in this most ill-advised and criminal of wars. Why are Americans fighting and dying in Afghanistan?

During his first month in office President Obama sent 17,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.

THE REAL COST IN U.S. WOUNDED

As a frequent visitor to iCasualties.org, I noticed that tallies of U.S. wounded had not been updated since July 2010 – until recently. The website's data is based on monthly reports from the Department of Defense. Now that the data on U.S. wounded from August through November 2010 has been added, I can see why the White House held these shocking numbers back. Nearly 600 U.S. servicemen, about 20 per day on average, have been wounded every month since May 2010. This is the painful reality of the fraudulent war in Afghanistan that the Obama administration has been hiding.

In 2008, there were 793 U.S. wounded in Afghanistan. During 2009, the first year of Obama’s presidency, the number of wounded shot up to 2,144, a nearly three-fold increase. Thus far in 2010, the first full year of Obama’s surge policy in action, more than 4,481 Americans have been wounded in Afghanistan -- more than twice the casualties from 2009 and about six times as many as 2008.

If we still had good photo journalism covering the war from the front lines, like LIFE magazine provided during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s, Americans would be more aware of the real suffering caused by the 9-year-old criminal war of aggression in Afghanistan. A population that is painfully aware of the human toll is much more likely to take effective action to end the war.

Why are Americans fighting and dying in Afghanistan?

Because Israel wants Afghanistan to be completely neutralized so that no Arab fighters can train there for the liberation of Palestine from Israeli thieves who keep stealing Palestinian land by armed force to expand the illegal Israeli state. Israel can "commandeer" American forces to fight its enemies as long as the Israeli lobby funds the election campaigns of its preferred (and dependent)congressional candidates and as long as the MainStream Media, which is controlled by Organized Jewry, keeps this information from the public. Since the US Congress is the ultimate policy-making body and can even determine the tenure of the president, Obama has no choice but to go along with the criminality of Israel's Zionist regime.
