    A web search of Obama's campaign promises about withdrawing troops from Afghanistan comes up with over 1,600,000 results dating back to 2008.

    However, a number of sources, including the NYT, claim he has secretly extended the role of US troop in Afghanistan into 2015 and maybe until 2017.

    And millions of gullible people believed him! :roll::roll:

    ""Let me be clear: We must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months.""

    and he was quite clear that he would finish the war in Afghanistan which Bush put on hold for Iraq... We got Bin Laden

    we have troops all over the world, and unless someone else becomes the world police, we always will

    just because they are removed from one place today, doesn't mean there will be no need for them again tomorrow
