Barack Obama’s long forgotten Hope & Change platform has collapsed under the weight of all his broken promises. During the campaign, Obama promised not to repeat George Bush’s military transgression in Afghanistan of “just airraiding villages and killing civilians” because he didn’t have enough troops there.
Well, now that the Obama administration is “just airraiding villages and killing civilians” in Afghanistan — you don’t hear a peep from the liberal media:
Villagers dug dirt graves Wednesday to bury what the international Red Cross said were dozens of Afghans - including women and children - killed in American bombing runs. A former Afghan government official said up to 120 people may have died.
If so, it would be the deadliest case of civilian casualties since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. “deeply, deeply” regretted the loss of innocent life, and the U.S. military dispatched a brigadier general to investigate the deaths in two villages in western Afghanistan’s Farah province. READ MORE…

I can see this is going to be political Thursday. Yuck
And where was Hannity and Rush when Bush was doing it? Hell where were you? I only remember one post about loss of life in the Middle East while Bush was in office and even then it was about Obama!
I don’t agree with this, there is a better way to gather better intelligence in this area. These people are stuck in the middle. They don’t want the Taliban but they can’t do anything about it and but they don’t want to be killed by US bombs either. It’s a real shame and President Obama SHOULD do something about that.
However, I do think it laughable that this WAS GOING ON UNDER BUSH AND I DIDN’T HEAR A PEEP ABOUT IT FROM YOU OR THOSE OTHER BUSH WORSHIPERS.
AND the HUFFINGTON POST HAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS VERY THING ON ITS WEBSITE TODAY ENTITLED “Obama’s Moment in South Asia”. LOOK IT UP!
How many campaign promises did Reagan, Big Bush and Little Bush break?
Yeah, Sandra…
Bush and Reagan killed, maimed, and mutilated people. Nothing wrong with Obama doing the same.
And, everyone knows campaign promises are lies … all politicians are liars … so, it’s okay for Obama to lie. Anyway, I voted for him because he’s Black.
Sunny until you actually contribute some factual and interesting information NOT found on fox you will be thoroughly ignored…by me anyway…and I’m sure you don’t care but I’m just saying…broken record hun.
I don’t think anyone in here voted for him JUST because he was black know I didn’t and know my husband didn’t CAUSE he’s WHITE.
@kcicero…
Ahhh, I’m crushed
..!.. sip ..!..
#6, your husband doesn’t like black people? is that why? I dont get the relevance. Obama will not be back in office. In his defense, let’s just assume he built his platform off what he thought he would be able to do, not knowing completely how messed up things really were until he got in the office. either that or we’ve been all bamboozled. sure, sandra feels we’ve been bamboozled.
