President who ‘ended two wars’ halts plan to withdraw from Afghanistan

As predicted.

Barack Obama is the President who “ended two wars.” For years, that’s been the narrative among the mainstream press and the members of the Democrat party. Never mind the fact that neither of the wars referenced ever really ended. Ignore the rise of ISIS thanks to the power vacuum Obama created, and forget the fact that he started a third - illegal - war in Libya. The Democrats had a narrative to sell, so Obama ended two wars. End of story.

....At least until today. Today we’re learning that the war in Afghanistan isn’t ending, the U.S. won’t adhere to Obama’s ill-advised “pull out date,” and thousands of troops will stay in-country long after the President’s second term expires.

Obama is not in any way a real president, and he did not in any way end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet. He’s trying to lose both wars, but our soldiers are still there and the fighting is still going on in both countries.

I pray that the good guys can hold out long enough for Cruz/Trump or Trump/Cruz to end the wars by winning. Ending wars by losing is the preferred liberal strategy, but for once I’d like to do it the American way - by crushing our enemies.

Santa Ana ended two wars as well.

The first, in 1836, gave Texas its Independence. Santa Ana probably wasn't feeling so proud of his victories at the Alamo and Goliad two month later.

The second, in 1848, ceded substantial territories in the northwest of the country.

We were so proud of Santa Ana that we named a major city in California after him. Has the Muslim world named anything after ObaMao yet?

I was hoping our guys would be able to sit out the rest of this maoist f-up’s term.

He’s already gotten far far too many of them killed and wounded unnecessarily with his ridiculous way of waging war.

It was “honorable mention” for being a black guy with no verified children out of wedlock or drug habit.

It was actually the way for the Euro-Left to say FU to George W. Bush.

Bunch of snarky, strutting, intellectual effeminates.

You’re probably right; I hope they remember that when they hear the calls to prayer over loudspeakers five times a day...
