![]() As for the Obama administration, in Iraq they are gradually implementing a phased withdrawal. I give them some credit for that, although I am not sure their efforts there really differ greatly from how the Bush administration would be handling Iraq now were it still in power. However, I wouldn't say that gradually implementing a slow end to a completely unnecessary war is "just as bad" as starting a completely unnecessary war in the first place. As far as Afghanistan, I think the Obama administration's decisions to ramp up U.S. efforts there are absolutely horrible. I have criticized the administration's actions there on numerous occasions, and hope that other liberals do the same. If we only criticize the Bush administration when they do crap like this and give the Obama administration a free ride, we are just as hypocritical as all the conservatives who suddenly started caring about the debt and deficit in January '09 after ignoring it for eight years. |

So the best thing to do is what's happening in Iraq, which is admittedly happening slower than I'd like. Not a fan of increasing presence in another war zone....not at all. But to say that somehow having to deal with the $hit sandwich someone dropped in your lap in a responsible way is equally as bad as creating it in the first place is a little bit of a dishonest way to approach it. |

![]() Bush didnt create the war in Afghanistan. Al Queda did when they declared war on the USA with the 9-11 terror attacks.
Iraq is a different story, but I wanted to get that clarified.

Obama obviously inherited the situation. My only point was that if Miraja2 thought the wars were evil and had bad motivations that Miraja2 should be critical of Obama for even continuing the wars. It turns out that Miraja2 is critical of Obama's continuing of the wars. I don't have a problem with that. At least Miraja2 is consistent. |
