85. Issue: Poster says Obama promised he'd end Afghan. War on Day One.

Issue: Statement by poster that Obama said he'd end the Afghanistan War on Day One.
My response: Not true. He never represented that, said that, or implied that. TO the contrary, he SUPPORTED our efforts in Afghanistan.


You've gotten off track and forgotten what my post was about.

If you have a link for Obama stating that he will end the Afghanistan War on Day One, please post it. You can post it here:

If you don't, then your response is irrelevant.

We are talking about PROMISES DURING THE CAMPAIGN. Not changes made to his plans later. Plans ALWAYS change for various reasons. However, he was not lying and NEVER represented that he was against the Afghanistan War and would end it on Day One....which is what this thread is about.

We did in fact stay in Afghanistan. We're still there.

Please post the links to your quotes of Obama here: __________________________________________________. Quotes don't mean much w/o a cite to the source.

A lot of people think what that poster thinks. i've heard it repeatedly over the years. I think that a lot of people ASSUMED Obama was far left and anti-war, when he was not. Most people did not watch all the debates, as I and some others did. Some people just misremember, or confuse some Iraq War statements with Afghanistan (although he ALSO did not say we'd leave Iraq on Day One; for anyone to think that shows naiivete about war. We get troops out in one day, even if we wanted to. So by logic, anyone should know that Obama did not say that. Obama, if anything, was a practical, factual man.)
