Were it true that no Americans were killed in Iraq after January, 2009 that would indeed have been commendable.
Sadly, that's a lie.
But then the number did decrease as the opposition recognized it didn't have to kill Americans as they had been muzzled.
Glad to see that we agree, however, that The Big Zero's promise as regards Afghanistan was a total, though empty, campaign promise. Because even one American died in either place after the Hour of Anointment in 1/2009, the competition might be among the deceased as to which death was the very first lie of the new regime's time in power.
Don't be absurd.
No president can just pull an entire army out of a country on one day.
Now, the thing about Afghanistan is, I agree, Obama did make a commitment that he shouldn't have. He called it the "War of Necessity" when it wasn't clear that it was. (Although, frankly, no one in either party really contradicted him.)
He did do the one thing Bush failed to do.
Killed Bin Laden.
