Reply #26: What I know is this, he is sending MORE troops to Afghanistan and that is wrong [View All]

We also have a thousand National Guard troops from Minnesota who will be sent to Iraq very soon. This is unacceptable. Obama said he was going to end the war, and here he is sending more troops over there. Sure he may be withdrawing some others at the same time, but it certainly is not looking like he is going to end the war in Iraq like he campaigned on.

And the fact that he is actually escalating the war in Afghanistan is extremely troubling, yes I know he said he would do this during the campaign but that does not make it right. People are going to die because of this decision, and I am not going to give Obama a pass for bringing more death and destruction to a region that has already suffered too much.

Is he a warmonger? I don't know but his position on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is wrong.
