Which was it - war on the cheap, no funding... or "at a cost of trillions"
Which is it, liberate countries, or not
Get your talking points straightened out now... LOL
Obama is "liberating" countries by remote control then walking away from the power vacuums which are then filled with extremists exponentially worse than the governments who were there before your lord and savior bombed them
Deny the reality with your contradictory and mindless warmed over talking points all day... [:D]
Which is typical of so many leftists, so many of them cant think on their feet
Bush (then Obama) own Iraq and Afghanistan, and are rehabilitating them at a cost of trillions. But Obamas baby, his legacy will be his creating Arab winter

War-on-the-Cheap Rummy and In-and-out-Mission-Accomplished Bush had not exit plan and no funding.
They've created a decades long commitment at a cost of trillions.
You want to liberate countries? Go to ones that need it desperately. Start with Myanmar and Sudan.
As I've pointed out to you many times, you see the world in left/right glasses. There is no such world, except in the media you consume.
If you ever bothered to read my actual points, you'd know I'm no fan of the President. But I'm not a knee-jerk critic either.
All three of the conflicts you mention are about oil. I don't care who spins them. If we cared about oppressed people, we'd be in completely different countries. We care about oppressed oil, and our thirst for it creates the oppressors. Incidentally, we do the same with Mexican drug lords, whose biggest customer by far is the U.S.
We don't have to do this. We could have been the first and greatest largely oil-free nation by now, completely free of the growing global demand and the increasing pressure this puts on food prices. We could have used our prosperity to create long term security. We didn't. We spent it on politics instead. Same goes for coal, gas, even hydropower, which, while renewable, has consequences.
Check out this wicked awesome cool wind-turbine bridge Italy is building. The roadway is a solar collector--technology developed...right here. But we're too dump to use it. That's power for 15,000 homes per bridge.
