Obama

President Obama has tried to help many Americans with change and the thought of a turn for the better. So far the New president has shown change in areas that seem to effect the public very little. The number of troops that were supposed to return from the war in the middle east as soon as president Obama took office has not been completed. The number of troops have grown overseas and the fatalities have increased big time. Also the health care reform has caused more American debt and an increase in vulnerability of the American people. So i feel that as stated on we the peoples blog the (Apostles of anger)have a valid point.

Civiliian Casualties in Afganistan?

NATO releases information stating that they had killed five civilians in a night time raid. Trying to cover for them selves they stated that it was a mistaken "Honor killing". I feel that the reason we have women, men, and children over there fighting for our freedom is not because of civilian work of terrorism. These people are trying to live a life in a poverty struck en environment and shouldn't be used as target practice. These people are loosing family members left and right some involved with the acts of terrorism and some just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our leader should have more power controlling the people innocently being killed by the acts of poorly advised soldiers. I honor the men and women of the United States armed services but there are different ways to deal with stubborn individuals or people that have bad days. We as Americans see people on an everyday basis that are out of hand and rude for no reason but we are not out there taking there lives for a days worth of small mistakes. Also military officials should be ashamed of there efforts to cover up the killing of civilians shot execution style tied up and gagged. The officials stated that this was a custom burial ritual after a family member was found dead. To me this seems like more lies to cover the cruel acts of some American civilians. There is a clear difference between someone that has been nicely covered after a murder or death, to someone that has been tightly tied from the back of the head were the wound was to the inside of the lips. This to me is a embarrassment of the American solider in the eyes of the people around the conflict.
