Eh, this and Iraq are different situations. If Obama stated that he would have pulled out of Afghanistan he would not have been re-elected, and would have been painted as weak, etc. The right has already done a number with that one and Obama's been somewhat of a war hawk.
The American people have never really had a problem with the Afghan war because they felt it was justified due to 9/11.
This is a case (in my mind) where the American people are to blame as well. If there was a serious push to pull out of Afghanistan it could happen, but I don't think that's what people want. I'd say people were more angry that resources from Afghanistan were diverted to Iraq.
