unhappycamper comment: To date one thousand sixty three American soldiers have been killed in the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan --> http://icasualties.org/OEF/index.aspx

As of this morning (5.11.2010) one hundred seventeen Americans have been killed in Afghanistan this year, which equals the total number of deaths in Afghanistan in 20007.

This was in Afghanistan. The Afghan war has support by many Democrats. And Al Gore and Obama stated they would have attacked Afghanistan too. So
this is not really a GW Bush issue.

End it.
