If I remember correctly, soldiers and commanders on the ground at the time were talking about how they felt under supported in Afghanistan and it was largely due to our focus in Iraq. Obama ran on the concept of pulling back in Iraq while simultaneously focusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan and rooting out the real terror networks there.
This is not ancient history, we heard that platform just a few years ago. You don't have to be a fan of someone to be truthful about what they said. My blood pressure goes up in these conversations because it seems like truth takes a backseat to all the other considerations. That's why I keep promising myself I'll stay out

Don't let the pressure get you! It'll all come out in the wash! It would appear though that two individuals who hear the same thing, don't hear the same thing. My problem with Obama is I don't hear probably as much as I should because I'm simply tired of what all he has said and then didn't do! I do not consider him a truthful president. Google Obama lies and you'll be amazed at the total number of documented lies he has told. And if only 1/2 of the lies prove to be truly lies it's way tooooooooo many!

I have a big time putting up with liars. When a person lies to me, about the second lie I have a hard time believing anything they say!

Did he not make some big statements about even pulling troops out of Afgh? It's really hard to keep up with what he has said and what he wanted you to think he said.
