The Forgotten War; US deaths higher each year than previous years.

Just in case anyone was wondering. The US State Media doesn't deem such low numbers of dead US soldiers as newsworthy.

But I notice each year the death toll is higher than the years before. And this year so far looks set to do the same. Total waste of life, when one considers no OBL, the Afghanis are WORSE OFF NOW than they were before bush, they all hate us now and they didn't before bush, the Taleban is back, the warlords are even more backl, 2003 was a record opium crop, 2004 beat 2003, and even bush's puppet Karzai is pissed off with us now.
