"Romney is the one who wanted to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan, not Obama or the left. The left never wanted to go in in the first place."

I remember clearly how the dems rolled over for Bush in going into 2 illegal invasions.
Now Obama has compounded the problem by:

Cutting deal with Afghan puppet regime to keep US there until at least 2024
Off the charts expanded drone murder program
expanded black torture sites
leaving Guantanamo in place
NDAA(worse than Bush)
codified torture and prosecution of whistleblowers
Expanded chaos and takeovers from Honduras to Egypt to Libya to yemen to somalia etc....

I'm wondering where you get your info....

as for Obama ending the war in Iraq....he was forced to do it by the Iraqis:

"Although President Obama wanted to keep those troops in Iraq, when negotiations failed to produce a new agreement, the remaining US troops were pulled out at the end of 2011. Roughly 3,000 troops remained in the country to protect diplomats and train Iraqis. Roughly 5,000 private security contractors also remain in the country."
