ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I do not think he will be getting into more, I think he has tried to get out, but the realities of just up and getting out in a specific time frame are unrealistic at best and Im a huge pacifist. Getting into more wars, just because he can, is really out there, and has NOTHING to justify it, no proof, even as a scare tactic. NO other coutnry can get out in the time frame he hoped for, he was over hopeful, what makes anyone think the US can or will is beyond ridonkulous I don't share your optimism about Obama. Since he took office, he's expanded the wars to include Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and now Libya. Also, he's continued the war-mongering in Afghanistan and in Iraq, kept Gitmo open and - following Bush's footsteps, declared that inmates at Bagram have no rights. Your faith in Obama is misplaced. What evidence is there to suggest that he won't start bombing Damascus soon? He's already put sanctions on Syria and will come out and publicly ask Assad to step down soon. What's Obama going to do when he has another Middle Eastern leader telling him to stay out of the internal affairs of a Middle Eastern country. Obama invaded Libya under similar conditions (you can try to say that NATO did it, but you're not going to fool anyone with that logic). What's to stop him from invading Syria? This script is all too familiar. All you do is make assertions without any argumentation.
