Why didn't Obama end the war in Afghanistan as he promised (44)
lindsyjones: I know thexactly answer but curious why it seems anything Trump does today as President us questioned but when Obama proved so incompetent on any of his policies domestic and abroad, he was not questioned.
Is there any fairness in that?
Only a bloody fool thinks he can control Afghanistan for any length of time . Lesson has been learnt over and over . Bomb > burn > bash > bolt ............... give guns to least worst piece of crap , go home for back patting . But no , Bush dragged us all into there to "rebuild " and introduce democracy .Is there any fairness in that?

Corrected version.
Yes , my whole point really is, there's one poster on here who can't ever appreciate the President yet never saw how stupid the policies of Obama were.

Obama was a lying politician.
Trump is a lying politician.
Trump's the president now. It's time to stop living in the past, and hold Trump accountable for his lies...
Like "locking up Hillary!
And repealing Obamacare!
But, nothing from Trump except blaming Obama, for Trump doing exactly what Obama did...
It's Trump's job: and our problems are Trump's fault.
The buck stops with the President of the United States, nobody else.

No....Obama drew a red line when Assad gassed his own people.....then did nothing.Trump launched a "line" of 59 Tomahawk missiles.
And Trump hasn't bowed before any other countries leader either.
Frick Obama.....

If one goes to Trump's twitter feed from 2013, he tweeted telling Obama not to do exactly what he has now himself done.. and did so without getting congressional approval (like he tweeted obama needed) which is unconstitutional.. and to top it all off he launched the strike before any investigation by the UN, NATO or even the Pentagon could be done.. in other words without any concrete proof that Assad was responsible.. Trump is a dont do as i do, do as i say hypocrite.. he should have kept his mouth shut in 2013, if he had he wouldn't be finding his foot in it now!

Brian I'm not condoning any hypocrisy but by enlarge, circumstances do change. Our needs then, might be different now. Our reactions to events that are happening definitely defines our responses to accomplish what is set to be done. Which begs the question, why?

There were reports during the time where Obama had said that ALL the troops were to be taken out of Afghanistan by sometime in 2015 but that never happened.
Then Obama deployed thousands of more US troops.

Obviously wars aren't good and I'm afraid they will just continue.
Obviously there are/will be no winners on either side.

TRUMP: Syria chemical-weapons attack crossed 'beyond a red line,' and my attitude has changed

President Donald Trump speaking about the gas attack in Syria.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the recent chemical attack in Syria crossed "beyond a red line" and changed his mind about Bashar Assad, the ruthless Syrian president, whom Trump had previously suggested could stay in power.
When asked during a press conference with King Abdullah II of Jordan whether the gas attack crossed a "red line," Trump said it "crossed a lot of lines" for him. The attack on Tuesday on a rebel-held town in northwest Syria killed at least 70 people.
"When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was," Trump said, "that crosses many, many lines. Beyond a red line."
Trump later said he was a "flexible person" and was capable of changing his opinions on issues.

Trump’s stance at the time? He was firmly in the “stay out of Syria” camp. As The New York Times noted, he tweeted more than a dozen times about Syria in 2013, urging Obama not to take action. Through Trump’s prolific use of Twitter, he advised Obama to “forget Syria,” to “NOT attack Syria” and to “stay out of Syria.”

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
