>> Iraq was totally pointless. I think that's a fine position to take as long as you also agree we'd be better off with Saddam still in power, and that having elections in Egypt, for example, isn't an improvement, even if they elect the wrong people. Or if you think the world was a better place with Qaddaffi, or if you think Syrians standing up against the dictatorship is a bad thing. Because none of those things would ever have happened without the Iraq War. AT least Afghanistan let us finally get OBL. I'm not sure how you think the Afghanistan War had anything at all to do with it. Hell, if you want to credit ANYTHING, it would have to be waterboarding, which this president opposes. But now we've done it, and should get out. Obama has STARTED no wars. He hasn't ended any, either. I do think it is time to get out of Afghanistan, and time to acknowledge that we can't win it like we did Iraq. We should walk out and tell them we'll be back "as needed to secure our interests". And we shouldn't put it off.
