ROFLMFAO!!! You really believe that crap??We're not losing. We can't loose if we don't play. When we participate in these conflicts we are doing exactly what our enemies want us to do.If Obama turned the war around why are we losing?The fact that we were losing.9788655Obama ignores every adverse thing until he has no choice but deal with it. It's the MO of his presidency. He's too busy shooting hoops, sinking balls, and raising money to focus on much else.
What was ignored when he tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan and reversed the Taliban's momentum after six years of endless drift under Bush?

The fact that the US had been losing in Afghanistan for five years under Bush's command is precisely why Obama tripled the number of troops and turned the whole lost war around. Petraeus will tell you that. Obama ignored nothing in Afghanistan from the first days in office until now. Obama has ignored nothing in Iraq. Its right wing bs that Obama should take orders from the likes of Maliki as Bush had to kiss his ass for the last two years he was in office. If you want to call Obama's position on Maliki 'ignoring' him - then that was the right thing to do. Now he's gone. And Iraq will be better off for it.
The Taliban is every bit as strong as the day we arrived. As soon as we leave they'll be back in power in Kabul. This is why the US has been negotiating with them.
Obama's surge was a total failure, as much as Bush's was a total success.
