CNSNews.com’s obsession with body counts of U.S. troops in Afghanistan continues with a Sept. 30 article by Edwin Mora touting how “September 2010 has been the deadliest September yet for U.S. troops in the 9-year-long war in Afghanistan as U.S. troops continued to be killed at a pace of slightly higher than one a day during the Obama presidency.”
Mora carefully avoids any mention of the U.S. death toll in Iraq, which dwarfs the current Iraq numbers. The 38 total casualties he tallies in September is less than one-third of the casualties in the deadliest months of the war in Iraq.
And yes, we’re still pretty sure that CNS did not have this same body-count obsession when a Republican was president and the main operation was in Iraq.
