Obama Gets a Blank Check for Endless War

Great article by Ira Stoll at Reason.com:

Record numbers of U.S. troops are dying under Obama, but the anti-war movement is nowhere to be found.

Already, hundreds more American troops have been killed in Afghanistan during the less than three years of the Obama administration than during the eight years of the George W. Bush administration.

Regardless of your stance on our presence in the middle-east, it’s true. The facts are there. At the current pace, Obama will have presided over more U.S. soldier casualties than Bush did in his first term, which—just in case you forgot—included the 9/11 attacks on Manhattan and the height of the Iraq war.

Where are all the anti-war protesters?
