Memorial Day has given CNSNews.com an additional reason to rush out its monthly body-count tally of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan. Not only does Edwin Mora begin by highlighting that “The Defense Department announced 8 new U.S. casualties in Afghanistan over the Memorial Day weekend,” he blames Obama for “62 percent of the total” casualties in Afghanistan.
As per usual, the word “Iraq” is nowhere to be found in Mora’s article, thus hiding from his readers the fact that the troop casualty rate in Afghanistan is far outpaced by the peak casualty rate during the Iraq war.
