If Obama wanted to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan within 90 days he could...We don't have the right people running the Defense Department to make that happen though...If this nation can send a man to the moon then it can get out of complex wars quickly -- leadership comes from the top down though...Obama believes in ramping up and escalating the war over in Afghanistan...and according to many experts (including longtime CIA veteran Bob Baer) this will only drive us deeper into a more dangerous Quagmire.
