He said many times he was going the END both of these wars.

Draw down in Iraq, sure.

Ante up in Afghanistan? Has it worked?

Then add in Libya?

Yup, he is a war monger for sure. No matter how you slice and dice it, he is just a much pro war as Bush but his followers do anything to erase the comparisons.

Yeah - who woulda thunk it? Obama = Bush. I would have taken either Ron Paul, Mike Gravel or Dennish Kucinich. Those are all brilliant, inventive brains, so of course in America they had no chance whatspever. If any of those 3 had been elected, there would be NO American involvement in ANY wars now, and the economy would NOT be teetering on the edge of bankrupcy. So maybe America is getting what it collectively deserves - it's own ignorance is being rewarded.
