You remember, that foreign war that Obama called the "good war" during the campaign. His surge was supposed to fix that. It didn't and now he is trying to keep troops there "as advisers". He made threatening statements about bombing Syria until Putin intervened and came up with the joint U.S.-Russia agreement to get the chemicals out. He now wants to "train" the rebels most of whom are al-Qaeda adherents.

When I look at occupants of the White House I don't say "well he not as bad as ..... would have been." We need to end all of our military adventures. Period.
