Obama Dithers, Meanwhile Afghan helicopter crashes kill 14 Americans

The deadliest weekend of the 8 year long Afghan war now belongs to president Obama. I wonder why the MSM doesn't celebrate that milestone with glee like they did every time troop deaths reached a round number with president Bush in office.

Dick Cheney couldn't be more right as Obama plays golf yesterday (few posts down) 14 more Americans are killed in separate chopper crashes in Afghanistan, which certainly won't be good for an already damaged military morale, as they see their sad  commander in cheat bumbling around the world picking up awards for things he hasn't done yet while they wait for his decision on their fate and hopes for some reinforcements.

Not to mention along with all the stalling as these people no doubt are awaiting poll numbers being accumulated as we speak and as our soldiers die, before Obama  can finally come out and pretend he made a decision on troops levels..... months and months after they were initially requested mind you .

What a mistake it was electing this man on so many levels it's unbelievable still year later people are defending their decisions..

USATODAY.com: "KABUL — A series of helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans in insurgent-wracked Afghanistan on Monday, the U.S. military said. It was one of the deadliest days of the war for U.S. troops.

In the first crash, a chopper went down in the west of the country after leaving the scene of a firefight with insurgents, killing 10 Americans — seven troops and three civilians working for the government. Eleven American troops, one U.S. civilian and 14 Afghans were also injured.

In a separate incident in the south, two other U.S. choppers collided while in flight, killing four American troops and wounding two more, the military said.

U.S. authorities have ruled out hostile fire in the collision but have not given a cause for the other fatal crash in the west. Taliban spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmedi claimed Taliban fighters shot down a helicopter in northwest Badghis province's Darabam district. It was impossible to verify the claim and unclear if he was referring to the same incident.

U.S. forces also reported the death of two other American troops a day earlier: one in a bomb attack in the east, and another who died of wounds sustained in an insurgent attack in the same region. The deaths bring to at least 46 the number of U.S. troops who have been killed in October. ">continued

Here's a Fox report on the bombings in Bagdhad that anyone can see are being done now to distract Obama since he can't seem to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time;
