Now, however, there is very little attention focused on these casualties by the Obama media. This certainly shows that the hypocritical media is biased toward the democrats...and, in my opinion, IT IS PART OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!

Deadliest September Yet for U.S. Troops in Afghanistan; More Than One U.S. Soldier Dying Per Day on Obama’s Watch
Thursday, September 30, 2010
(CNSNews.com) - September 2010 has been the deadliest September yet for U.S. troops in the 9-year-long war in Afghanistan as U.S. troops continued to be killed at a pace of slightly higher than one a day during the Obama presidency. U.S. troops thus far have suffered 38 total casualties in September, with all but two of those being combat-related. Before now, September 2009 had been the deadliest September of the war with the U.S. suffering 37 total casualties in that month, 35 of which were combat related.
Since the beginning of the war in October 2001, 1,206 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan, according to CNSNews.com database of Afghanistan war casualties. 1,041 of those deaths have been combated-related. 2010 is already the deadliest year of the Afghan war for U.S. forces. So far, 354 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year compared to 303 in 2009, which was the second deadliest year of the war.
A total of 650 U.S. troops troops have been killed in Afghanistan since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2010. During his presidential campaign, he vowed to shift the focus of U.S. military efforts overseas from Iraq to Afghanistan. The 650 U.S. casualties in Afghanistan since Obama’s inauguration equal almost 54 percent of all U.S. casualties for the entire duration of the war. Given that Obama has been president for 618 days, U.S. troops have been dying in Afghanistan at a rate of more than one a day since he took over as commander in chief.
