I'm not as sure as you are. Obama inherited a war. Civilians die in war. The incident you posted about was a legitimate act of war -- targeting hijacked oil tankers in the belief they would be used for suicide bombings. The attack was a NATO action, not a US action. It's a stretch to put personal responsibility for the action on Obama.
On the other hand, Bush started a war in Iraq for reasons still not clear but certainly not for the reasons we were told. It was an unnecessary war. Civilians die in war. It isn't as big a stretch to put personal responsibility on Bush.

People will not only stretch, but tie themselves into pretzel like knots that only a contortionist could achieve, to bash Obama.
Obama should have stopped the war on terror when he came into office instead of promising to escalate it. The people that support Bush and Obama's actions don't understand war. We can not win this war of attrition. This isn't traditional western warfare. Read through the Art of War a few times and you will begin to understand how we already lost the war on terror.

No, there will be no victory, as there cannot be a "war on terror".
One cannot "war" against an ideology.
However, leaving Afstan at this point will only allow the Taliban to regain control and create a base of power for "terrorists" to use and to oeprate from.

This is a job that needs to be finished.
The Taliban or others like them will wait for us to leave no matter how long we stay. It's their home.
