I was a Marine during Desert Storm. I've had sons go to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I have worked all over the world including the Middle East and currently work in West Africa. I know a little bit about the realities of what is going on in the world. Have you ever served in the Military or lived/worked out of the US?
The reasons we went to Iraq and Afghanistan are as real today as they where when we went and he hasn't been President for over 4 years. I guess the reason we are still there is his fault? It's not so cut and dried is it. Do you know how long we stayed in Japan and Germany after WW2?
Again, I like the fact that he made the hard decisions and stood by them. THAT is what makes him a great President not the fact that he had a "red neck accent". Shock and Awe was a military tactic not a political statement nor was it ever meant to be one.
