"Caring about the war is so 2008"

excerpt-

The end of August marked the close of what is now the bloodiest month for the United States forces in Afghanistan since its presence began there in 2001, with 45 confirmed deaths. I haven’t seen any numbers for Afghan deaths, but given the escalation in violence it seems likely that they were high as well. As you may recall, Afghanistan is where President Obama wants to increase American troop numbers.

I wouldn’t blame the average person all that much if they didn’t recall it, though. It’s not given much attention, compared to the former President Bush’s military decisions. Nor is it criticized very much, since the bulk of the antiwar movement apparently slipped into a coma during Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony and is now descending into a permanent vegetative state.

The rapid drop-off in interest really is remarkable. Principled exceptions exist, but often only throw the rest into sharper relief. For instance, Cindy Sheehan has continued her antiwar campaign into the new administration, calling on Obama to end the war just as she did George W. Bush and protesting at Martha’s Vineyard during Obama’s presence there.

And yet, the woman that so much of the press couldn’t get enough of now barely warrants a mention from either the press or many her former comrades and supporters, something she herself has commented on.

Amazing, isn't it?

Also, say what you will about Cindy, at least she is consistent and true to her convictions.

She is anti-war and it doesn't matter who the president is...But when Boush was President her every move was on most of the channels...That's not her but it does show that most channels wanted nothing good said about Bush and nothing bad said about Obama...

It is the Soro's machine in action.  Watch it run over all the little people as it steams it's way through everything that is America turning it to shredds.
