Why did Obama CONTINUE the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan after he promised to PULL the troops OUT?

What Sarah said.

@Stayve: He didn't send 30,000 troops to Iraq, he sent them to Afghanistan. Try to keep up.

Because he's just a continuation of Bush. All US presidents in the last 60 years have had a war. Continuous warfare is behind most of the problems of the USA.

It's not as easy as it seems . This people say they will fight american till they'll destroy America .

he is a shame.

Because he is a hypocrite. There are no "two sides of the story." He just blatantly lied to make himself look like a better candidate for presidency.

You'll get two sides of the story. The 1st being that obama fulfilled his promise to bring our troops home and ended the war in iraq.

Then you'll see the side that actually accounts for the truth, obama sent 30,000 MORE troops to Iraq for 'security" purposes. Even then, libturds will claim that he "ended the iraqi war"....why? Because he said he did? Well shti if all you need to do is say something to make it true, then we really AREN'T in 17T worth of debt, which had nearly doubled under obama from its initial 10T.

Actions speak louder than words. And unfortunately for our friends on the left, their willing to disregard his actions and take him at his word. 30,000 additional units to the SAME place where he claimed to have ended the war. If you believe that then I have a purple dragon to sell them.

Iraq War, ended.

Afghanistan, slated to end this year.

Obama, never promised to pull out the minute he was elected.

You, a liar.

Because you weren't paying attention.

Obama said that he would end the war in Iraq, and refocus our efforts in Afghanistan and on the people who actually attacked our country. He did both.
