Given credit? Isn't it usually given blame when casualties are involved?Why is it that when these casualties occurred under W, the libs were screaming and taking the thread into the 100's of posts; blaming W for it all.
Now with Obama at the helm, it is the fault of the guy running the missile launcher?
At what juncture will Obama be given the credit for our current involvement in Iraq/Afghan and the casualties resulting thereof?
Maybe you can start one:biggrin1:.I have nary seen a single anti-war protest in a year and a half.

Just because you don't see the picket signs doesn't mean that there are people that want to see the wars end. Plus, these were already going on before Obama got in office. What good do picket signs do when you were already at war for 7 years previous?
Perhaps there's not as much protest because the current administration, unlike the previous one, has shown an effort to resolve the conflict. This President has also avoided the use of rhetoric that stirred up the masses. Yeah Georgie is still getting the blame because you don't yell at the person cleaning up the mess. You yell at the one who made the mess.Globally.....
According to the French academic Dominique Reynié, between January 3 and April 12, 2003, 36 million people across the globe took part in almost 3,000 protests against the Iraq war.

And now...nada.
POOF! Neat magic trick - new guy walks into the White House and the outrage/fury just goes away. Any muttering of the current war, and all is deflected back to W.
Terrorist attempts to murder/cook 300 innocent civilians on Xmas, and the libs wail for due process. Yes, no screaming about escalation of troops in Afghan. Anyone else see the divergence of principles here?

Figured that out on your own did you? Did you get a shiny star to stick on your noteybooky as a reward?we are still at war.

The United States has been killing and incarcerating innocent civillians in this region for nearly 10 years now (more if you count Cold War era operations), if you must place blame on anyone for these injustices make it the entire country. We are all responsible.
