If this is "Bush's" war, then why are we still in it?

Update:

I do understand war. We just packed up and left Vietnam. Or is Vietnam still a conflict and not a war?

    9/11/2009 has come and gone.

    It is now Obama's watch.

    Obama now owns all issues.

    The time for blaming Bush and saying who "started it" are over.

    Obama is to blame

    It is on his watch.

    It's that simple.

    And I think most answers missed the point of the question.

    IT IS NOW OBAMA'S WAR.

    It is not Bush's war anymore.

    because the terrorists are a real problem in Afghanistan.

    Your right we should just leave, but Barack Obama would look weak if he gave up although we should leave Iraq.

    Because ending a war is not as simple as packing up your tanks and ammo and heading back home. This isn't The Sims, life is hard!

    Um, apparently you don't understand how wars work. You can't just bomb the hell out of people and cities and then pick up your ball and go home.....unless you want thousands of actual terrorists in Iraq wanting to murder us. If you wanted out of the unnecessary war, you should have opposed it from the start.

    Because Obama doesn't take responsibilty for anything. It's still Bush's fault and Bush's debt, on and on it goes.

    Just pick up and leave? It doesn't work that way.
