Oh, wait, that's right.

Look, we're not getting out of either war anytime soon, especially Afghanistan. Despite this supposed withdrawal this summer, we're leaving fifty thousand troops in Iraq for at least the next year and a half, probably longer.

While we are starting withdrawal from Afghanistan next year, Obama has already stated that there is no firm date when we will be gone from that country, and we could very well have a presence in Afghanistan for another seven years.

As far as my premise being disingenuous, how so? What, you think that these are defensible wars? Or you simply don't think that now, after escalations and a year and a half of pouring money and men into them, they aren't Obama's wars?
