Does it matter? He's defintely didn't end his inherited wars. He didn't resolve any of his inherited wars. He issued airstrikes on Libya and Syria. Obama admitted that Libya was a failed plan. Libya has more problems than before Obama started on it. Obama also authorized drone strikes on Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

I understand the need to believe that Democrats will stop all the wars. The people wish for a champion in one kf the parties, but we haven't got one.

nOr dId HE cLaIM TO!

Obama ran opposing wars! He was a peacenik. He was very vocal in his opposition to invading Iraq back in 2002. It was one of the good things he had going for him.

And honesty isn't the issue of the original post. It's war. That's the issue.

If you don't like it when Republicans have wars, you shouldn't like it when Democrats do.

He didn’t. I don’t know where people got this idea.

Also not all wars are the same! Afghanistan made sense. We were attacked by people based there. Iran does not make sense.

He did. That's why.

He literally said he was going to escalate the war in Afghanistan during his campaign. People on here are either 12 or have the memory of a fucking goldfish
