Byron York - Without Bush, media lose interest in war caskets<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Without-Bush-media-lose-interest-in-war-caskets-8310113-62427012.html> So far this month, 38 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan. For all of 2009, the number is 220 -- more than any other single year and more than died in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 combined. With casualties mounting, the debate over U.S. policy in Afghanistan is sharp and heated. The number of arrivals at Dover is increasing. But the journalists who once clamored to show the true human cost of war are nowhere to be found. Michael Barone - Germany's election results point to a big win for the center-right<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Germanys-election-is-a-big-win-for-the-center-right-merkel-christian-democrats-greens-left-fdp.html> Thus in Germany, as in the United States and in so many other countries, cultural factors and attitudes on non-economic issues play an important part in party identification and political behavior even when, as in Germany's cases, Christian convictions have pretty much faded out. Julie Mason - Obama defends Olympic trip to Denmark<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obama-defends-Olympic-trip-to-Denmark_09_29-62458022.html> “I think he believes he can do this and get back in time,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. “He felt strongly and personally that he should go and make the case of the United States, and that's what he's going to do.” Susan Ferrechio - Democrats unable to quell health care revolt among seniors<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Democrats-unable-to-quell-health-care-revolt-among-seniors-8310795-62428522.html> Senior citizens are putting the Democratic Party's 2010 election prospects and their health care reform proposals on a collision course. Outraged over Democratic plans to cut between $400 billion and $500 billion from Medicare in the next decade, voters over the age of 65 are poised to make the party suffer even steeper losses at the polls than have already been predicted for the midterm election. Michael O'Hanlon - A good idea for dealing with African pirates<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/A-good-idea-for-dealing-with-African-pirates-8305748-62379892.html> As the seas of the Indian Ocean, like those of the Atlantic, calm with the end of storm season, we need to worry about another threat that dominated the news at times earlier in the year but has since fallen off our radars: piracy along the African coast.
