An Unhappy Milestone

The London Daily Mail reports that, as of now, the same number of Americans have died in Afghanistan during Obama's 20 months in office - 575 - as during the entire period of the Bush administration. As the Mail notes:

Mr Obama is no longer able to blame his country’s travails on the previous administration.

That won't keep him from trying. When something is the only arrow in your quiver, that is what you shoot.
