which war's were obama's wars?

All of them. He is the commander in chief. He asks congress for a defense budget (they love increased military spending and always oblige) and he uses this approved budget to wage war.

Are you asking me which wars he has waged?

 

[UncleBuck]

All of them.

so obama was rooting for the iraq war instead of protesting it back in 2003?

It became his when he escalated it. Same for Afghanistan.

I mean honestly Buck, I don't know why you even use that line anymore. Blaming it on Dubya doesn't really let him take any credit. Sure Obama wants to end wars, by winning them all. He actually does this very well, be proud of your guy. If you are just finding a way to excuse him by blaming Dubya, you're believing that he is anti-war. He can't be anti-war if his goal is the end the wars by winning them all. That is pro-war.

when did obama escalate iraq?

do you even know what words mean?

You want to focus solely on Iraq and I don't blame you, since you are trying to paint Obama as anti-war. Obama did not start OIF. He didn't even order the troop surge in Iraq. If that is the narrow point you are trying to make, go for it, you're right.

He certainly escalated the "Global War on Terror". He certainly could have ordered defense cuts since officially, the executive branch asks congress for money to fight wars and this is the defense budget.

If he thought our stake in Iraqi oil was worth the war toll, there would probably still be US troops there imo.

that's the equivalent of echelon showing me a felon growing 156 plants after just clearing $300k and saying he's state compliant.
