Citing Clinton doesn't help your argument, not after her little adventure in Libya went so wrong. Obama was not a fan of intervening in the MidEast but seemed compelled to do so by the hawks in his administration like Clinton.
hullo Kafir-kun,
what argument?
i'm merely stating the facts.
Candidate and then President Obama was not compelled to stay in Afghanistan by the hawks. that is simply not accurate. in 2008, Afghanistan was the "good war" for the Obama team.
and my citing of Mrs. Clinton, clearly one of the most hawkish of Democrats, was only to show that the commitment to Afghanistan was broadly shared. it wasn't just a few nutty guys on the right (ie Mr. Bolton).
