Operation Enduring Freedom

Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,000 deaths George W years (2001-2006): 7,932 deaths If you are surprised when you look at these figures, so was I. These figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS tha n the loss of military personnel during Bill Clinton's presidency when America wasn't involved in a war!

A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. 'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.'

' The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.' 'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. 'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to.'>> You could have heard a pin drop

The lives of Taliban members have value too. War is about legalized violence against poor people since people with means escape. When Chevron spends billions putting down a pipeline in Afhganistan, they could as a courtesy drill some oil wells. It is really easy for military leaders to manipulate young kids into killing without question, without conscience like those profiled in this video. Thanks for democracy. Democracy is about FREEDOM OF SPEECH which I am going to enjoy on Independence day

The Constitution is about right to a fair trial, freedom of speech. Someone has to do it. The first week the war was launched an ABC show called Are YOU HOT was launched. Maybe going to college should make you prouder. This is loaded with rhetoric. Defeating the Taliban. What do we really know about the Taliban. You can learn more from watching them on youtube, than reading newspaper articles. They actually have values too. You keep taking them so literal.

God now we have our own little war on this commentary log! This war shouldn't be compared to any war cuz there's nothing like any war like this one! The only comparison is that EVERY GENERATION has seen war and lost friends. There are so many people today who knew of someone who has been there done that and are still, mentally, there. My Ex-husband went in 04 and 2nd battalian 4th Marines 1st Mar Div. lost so many!I lost many friends and my brother Tech Sgt Rodney is there in Iraq Now!God speed!

I just find out that someone I care sooo much for and lost contact with joined the operation... as someone against the real meaning of this war and the evil behind it, it brakes my heart and can't but feel so much love for the soldiers that regardless of the real purpouse of those in power..this guys are really fighting for what they believe ...unfurtunately they have being misleed it and we must understand and support them regardless....
