Yes, he did. However, Obama maintained during the campaign that Afghanistan was worth fighting while Iraq was not. Now Obama owns Afghanistan as he doubled-down on it and has watched things spiral out of control as we all knew that they would.
I'll still take Obama over any of the 4 lumps of shit running against him but Afghanistan is now his quagmire.
Fair enough. I will also say there has been a lot of hard talk from Obama about ending the occupation of Afghanistan but not a lot of action. If we see a Republican in the White House it will most likely end up with us fighting half of the Middle East.
