Israel should take note. Obama’s not going to help them with Iran even if Iran blows up half of Israel with some nukes.

focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, that he wound down as president. One war with multiple fronts, which continues, and which was initiated by terrorists.

Other than the fact that Obama had to take another stab at Bush, which was disgusting for a Memorial Day speech, his words mean nothing. He won't have a chance to send troops into war. In a few months he will be out of the White House and looking for a job. Hopefully, with his lack of leadership, his immature, continual whining, his inability to be a team player, and his proven record for blaming everyone else for failures, and his questionable history (fake SS numbers, different names, hidden records, etc.)...no one will be too excited to hire him.
Oh, he will probably write another book! And there will be some who will ask him to speak. But, in a few years, BO, who has no really viable skills, will be insignificant and fade away, like a bad dream.

Technical WW1 was not a “necessary” war for us to be in, so I can only bet his standards aren’t all that honest either.

And like all the other words he and his ilk get to define - “justice”, “equal”, “fairness” - Obama reserves for himself the right to define “necessary”......
To: Sub-Driver
“Obama did not mention tension with Iran and Syria in his remarks to veterans and military families at a hot, sunny Memorial Day ceremony, focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, that he wound down as president. “
right- George Bush started the war in Afghanistan.....fact is GWB wound down the war in Iraq before he left office while the situation in Afghanistan is considerably worse since obama took over...

“Absolutely necessary” in Obamugabe’s book means “I am going to lose the election according to Axelrod and Plouffe’s internal polls”.
To: Sub-Driver
“...focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, that he wound down as president.”
No bias there. No, none at all. /s
F’k you, Reuters.

Does ‘no more wars’ include the civil war he is so desperately trying to invoke?

Most likely is trying to leave a future mess to Romney to deal with in the event the American people “fire him”, such as Iran.

I don’t think CW2 will create a grateful nation..
