>> when you inherit two wars it is not easy to extricate oneself that easily.. I totally disagree. If obama was going to walk out of Iraq at 12/31/11, why didn't he do it a 1/31/09? I really don't see the difference. If you're going to leave a power vacuum, leave it today. (AKA, the "Kerry Doctrine" -- in regard to being the "last to die"). What purpose have we served in Afg in keep the war alive until now? If he knew he was going to walk away from it with impunity, why did we give up those last hundreds of American lives? It is not one bit "easier" to extricate the country today than it was when he arrived in office. The difference is we've lost lives in the meantime. The remnant instability will be at least as bad.

when you inherit two wars it is not easy to extricate oneself that easily.......maybe you want to enlist and fight the Taliban and jihadists? I still don't know what any of that has to do with how many shoes were thrown at President Bush. Why are you weaseling out so much? Can't you just admit that you are stupid and that you make stuff up to sound important? (you don't) Now you have me enlisting to fight the Taliban? Exactly why? Will they throw shoes at me too?
