He’s accurate in what he said. Bush was not prosecuting a full blown war in Afghanistan. He was in Iraq. Obama esclated it to a higher level of war than Bush had going.

That's true. I have been kind of baffled by Obama's approach. I remember him talking smack about Pakistan, and about Afghanistan, and I wonder... why is he so into Afghanistan and so opposed to Iraq? I don't get it.

Most of the Democrats took this position. I think it was simply kneejerk to do whatever was the opposite of Bush’s policy in any given area. Suddenly, they actually had to deliver after the utter routs in ‘06 and ‘08 left hem in charge.

To me the problem is that he is not really into the war. He demanded rules of engagement that place our troops in harms way because he does not give a you know what about our troops. It is Viet Nam all over again.

We are fighting a war where one of the political parties (DNC) is an ally of the enemy. We did it once...we should be smart enough not to do it again.
