Remember that nasty Iraq War?
Well, this may come as a huge surprise, but it’s still going on. A recent spike in bombings in stories buried deeply in the Washington Post proves it.
And that conflict in Afghanistan? Oh, it’s still going on, too.
Just the other day, an air strike on a couple of fuel trucks hijacked by the Taliban was hit by an allied air strike, resulting in 90 casualties, including a large group of civilians.
Then there are the “lurid photos” – as described by the Wall Street Journal – of Afghan guards and embassy workers mucking about like drunken frat boys. Shades of Abu Ghraib? Nah. Not when Democrats control the government.
But while the hard truths of war are still in evidence, what’s missing is the non-stop negative news coverage of the conflicts. Obviously, during the Obama administration negative news just doesn’t resonate the way negative news did during the Bush administration because, well, because it was the Bush administration.
Another thing’s missing: There are no protesters. No drum beaters at the White House. No mass protests in Europe.
It makes you wonder whether all those crazy parades were protests against war after all.
