Obama and Afghanistan: What he Promised to Do

PolitiFact | No. 134: Send two additional brigades to Afghanistan

So for all those of you (Willow especially) who say Obama planned to withdraw all the troops from Afghanistan immediately; get off the hard drugs.

He made it clear that he was going to increase our military presence in Afghanistan, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

Never said it was the right thing. My personal opinion on this has been uncertain as of late due to conversations and taking another look at the situation.

I certainly believe we should be out of Iraq however.

I wasn't inferring that you said that, I was simply making a general comment.

We're agreed on Iraq, but I believe we should leave Afghanistan as well. It's a drain on money and lives, and I don't believe we're going to capture bin-Laden anytime soon.
