Republicans have been chastising Obama and asking him to apologize for the following comment he made during a campaign stop in New Hampshire regarding his plan to move troops to Afghanistan:

"We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

It looks like this is what Obama was referring to: The AP did a fact check and found that Western forces are killing civilians at a faster rate than insurgents.

As of August 1, the count shows:

• 231 civilians killed by militants (i.e., the Taliban and other insurgents)
  
• 286 civilians killed by Western forces
  
• 20 killed in crossfire that can't be attributed to either side

Bush has also acknowledged the problem of civilian casualties in Afghanistan, but his response is a bit different. While Obama wants to send in more troops and actually try to fix the situation, Bush has done little more than blame the Taliban for using civilians as human shields.
