>> Obama is essentially following bush policy in iraq and expanding it in Afganistan.

Except that we are no longer at war. In Iraq or Afg.

We are merely engaged in "contingent overseas operations".

I wish we'd just abandon Iraq. Aghanistan, I'm not so sure about. We shouldn't be nation-building anywhere, but it might be wise to have an adjacent place to look for AQ and keep a close eye on Pakistan.

Hey, he changed the words to describe things. "overseas contingency operations" or something like that, "man-caused disasters" blah blah.

Semantics is everything right? End war by not calling it war.
