Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.) had a simple question Wednesday for three of the Obama administration’s top Afghanistan specialists: How many American troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year?
None of the witnesses at the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Afghanistan had an answer.
How much is the U.S. spending in Afghanistan? Mr. Rohrabacher asked.
No one could say.
“We’re supposed to believe that you fellas have a plan that’s going to end up in a positive way in Afghanistan?” Mr. Rohrabacher asked. “Holy cow!”
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D., Va.) called the witnesses’ inability to rattle off the facts “a stunning development.”
“How can you come to a congressional oversight hearing on this subject and not know” the answers? He asked. “Like that wouldn’t be a question the tip of one’s tongue.”
Maybe our resident lefties can tell us how MSM reports have focused on the death toll of Obama’s “good” wars. They certainly loved to keep us informed when Bush was president, so they must be keeping track don’t you think? Don’t forget the recent drone attack on a wedding party. (/sarc)
they must have been ashamed to tell,
BECAUSE TOO MANY DIED on OBAMA’S WATCH, COMPARE TO GEORGE BUSH,
and as many BRAVES where cripled and in hospitals waiting for the moneys due to them,
with an OUTRAGEOUS V.A BACKUP OF 5 YEARS,
IS IN IT TOO EMBARASSING TO ANSWER?
IF THEY WANT TO COVER THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF
OMG!!! Now THAT is so embarrassing….and very scary to say the least...do these idiots in this Administration have a ‘handle’ on anything???
When Bush was president, every day the propaganda media told us how many died in Iraq and Afghanistan, and gave us the total. After obama got elected, no amounts were given, even when the total killed under obama totaled more than under Bush.
With the Bush administration, the military came first. With the obama administration, their agenda comes first. Maybe the Afghanistan specialists should have referred the questions to the propaganda media, or do they still keep track of unimportant stuff like that now?
I hear that some soldier commit suicide,
that ‘s a desperate action, why?
is there a chaplain with them?
I HEAR THEY REMOVE THE CHAPLAIN AND PUT AN ATHEIST THERE
EVIL IS IN IT, HE SAID TO A QUESTION,
IT DOESN’T MATTER, AS LONG AS THEY HAVE SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO THEM,
NO IT DOES MATTER, NO ATHEIST WOULD FIT THE PLACE OF THE CHAPLAIN,
WHICH MISERABLE IDIOT MADE THAT DECISION FOR THE SOLDIERS?
BRING IT ON , SO WE CAN TELL HIM HOW IMPORTANT THE CHAPLAIN IS FOR THE TROOPS,
DID YOU HEAR DAVID SILVERMAN TALK AT FOX, HE REPRESENT THE ATHEIST
AND IS STUPID AND EVIL, THE GROUP SHOULD GET HIM OUT OF THERE, HE SPIT INSTEAD OF SPEAKING, AND DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE, HE TALK AGAINST CHRISMAS AND GESTICULATE
LIKE IT BURN HIS TONGUE,
IT INFURIATE HIM, AND THE CHRISTIANS ARE INFURIATED OF HIM EVEN MORE,
HE SUCEEDED TO HAVE A NICE CROSS TO BE REMOVE HE IS A DEVELISH PERSON,
HE WORK FOR THE DEVIL NOT FOR HIS GROUP OF ATHEIST WE NEVER HEARD OF AND SUDDENLY THEY COME OUT WITH A TSHIRT OF ATHEIST, THE NEW BREED, AND WANT TO BE HEARD,
WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU, JUST GO BACK AMONG YOUR OWN GROUP,
WE ARE NOT INTERESTED WITH THE SPIT, KEEP IT AND SWALOW IT AGAIN,
