OBAMA, AFGHANISTAN & THE WAR WHORES

First, here's what Obama said:
(AP) "We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there," Obama said.

I've written before that the U.S. has had a real problem in Afghanistan because we've killed too many innocent civilians. Even President Karzai has spoken out about this to Pres. Fredo but that's irrelevant to the war whores. Today, Hannity turned Obama's factual statement into an excuse to accuse the Democrats of being against the troops. Oliver North, the famous terrorist arms dealer, was a guest on the show and claimed that because of this single statement, Obama won't win in 2008.

Last summer, Ann Coulter viciously attacked some of the widows of the 9-11 attack because they did not support Pres. Fredo or the GOP. She defended her attacks by claiming that the Left uses people like the widows because they can't be challenged. It seems that most of the war whore Right does in fact take the military as unchallengeable.

I have to give the AP credit for coming out with a fact-check piece and finding:
A check of the facts shows that Western forces have been killing civilians at a faster rate than the insurgents.
