The only thing that really matters is that obama is on his way to losing it.

The current policy, the former general who had so much disdain for obama (and we can extrapolate from there that the chain of command and the troops in the field might feel the same way), the murder of innocents by drone strike (the most ever under his command), the most US deaths in the last two years, all on obama's watch.

An inescapable FACT.

The US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, the war was on shaky ground prior to Obama being elected in 2008. He inherited a mess in Afghanistan and it can't be fixed.

The US lost the war in Afghanistan when they shifted focus to an unnecessary war in Iraq, instead of finishing off Afghanistan after destroying the Taliban in 2001.

Shall we recount how many generals Lincoln "changed" during the four years of the Civil War?

President Obama has accomplished more positive Legislation than any other President in recent history. While, at the same time, cleaning up messes left in GW and Cheney's "Depends".

I disagree. You didn't see the kind of insurgence by the Taliban back then like you do now. They were on the run and now they are getting help from Iran. There should consequences for Iran killing our soldiers by proxy.

There wasn't a mess in Afghanistan, but there is now.
