(614 posts)The President made it clear he was against the open ended military conflicts that started this mess to begin with.
Quoted from the State of the Union
"but I will not send our troops into harms way unless it is truly necessary nor will I allow our sons and daughters to be mired in open ended conflicts. We must fight the battles that need to be fought, not those Terrorists prefer from us-large scale deployments that drain our strength and may ultimately feed extremism. So even as we actively and aggressively pursue terrorist networks through more targeted efforts by building the capacity of our foreign partners, America must move off a permanent war foot."
What the fuck else can people really expect or hope for from a Democratic President? Do they really expect him to just pack everyone's bags in an instant and withdraw everyone? He's tried to end the conflict responsibly, which is commendable.
