In Afghanistan, Obama’s hands are bloodier than Bush’s

Almost twice as bloody. Under Bush, 788 American military personnel died in that hopelessly corrupt and generally useless nation. Under Obama, 1,553 died. The disparity would be greater, but I allocated each President half of the deaths in 2009, as that was Obama’s first year and most operations in Afghanistan were still the product of Bush’s policies.
