On July 6, Obama announced he would keep 8400 troops in Afghanistan past the end of his presidency.
On July 11, he announced he would send an additional 560 troops to Iraq.

Obama has clearly proven that Bush's foreign policy decisions were Far superior to Anything the Democrats have come up with over the last 44 years.
Obama and Clinton are responsible for the destruction of all that was accomplished in the middle east and then they created the environment that gave rise to ISIS.
But Never expect either Obama or Clinton to acknowledge the truth.

Obama largely just continued Bush's foreign policy. We're still in Iraq. We're still in Afghanistan. GITMO is still open. We still violate other nation's sovereignty with drone strikes. And we still violate civil rights with warrantless wiretaps and extrajudicial killings of US citizens. Nothing has changed in that regard. And they are still the wrong course of action.

You mean "is he still trying to clean up the huge mess the Bush Jr. Administration created when it deliberately destabilized the Middle East by invading a country that had no WMDs, no clear ties to Al-Qaeda, and no part in the 9/11 attacks and removing the strong, albeit brutal, leader of said country thereby creating a power vacuum that led to the creation of ISIS"? If so, then yes.
?
Yup:
1) Gitmo still goin' strong; and,
2) Lots-n-lotsa troops fighting wars in the Middle East - twice as many wars as the Evil Dubya had goin' on!

No.
Boy George Bush's foreign policy decisions were the worst any president has ever made.
edit: I see your problem. You are too stupid to understand that Obama is still cleaning up Boy's mess.
