That headline:

We have had 70% of the US Military killed in Afghanistan under Obama, ...

is bad English and a Freudian slip.

The actual headline was:

70% of U.S. Military Fatalities in 11-Year Afghan War Have Occurred on Obama's Watch


The first 2 paragraphs are:

CNSNews.com) - Of the 1,912 U.S. military personnel who have died in the now nearly 11-year-long war in Afghanistan, 1,343 have died since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.

Seventy percent of the Afghan War casualties have happened on Obama's watch.


Point:

The public wanted us out of Iraq, and to focus on al Qaida. Romney can never win with an anti-war theme.
