You do realize that the destabilization and other problems started by Bush/Rove/Rumsfeld &c (and extending back to Reagan and earlier) have required years of work to get the US out of those areas, and may never end completely. This isn't about blame. It's about our understanding of the trajectory of events.

Funny, when Obama ran, he seemed pretty keen on getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan and closing down gitmo.

What's a few major platform promises between friends?
