Iraq/Afganistan War.

Obama's views on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq have varied greatly throughout his terms. In 2004, he stated that it was a moral obligation for the United States to stay in Iraq until complete "victory" is achieved. However, as time passed, Barak Obama became disillusioned in his believes on the war. By 2006, he began telling the public that the troops will be pulled out by 2009. After being unable to achieve this goal, he moved the date forward to 2011. We are about to enter the year 2012, and how successful has this withdrawal been? The inconsistency, mismanagement, and chaos of the American involvement in Iraq is greatly due to the poor foreign policy decisions taken by President Obama. Mitt Romney is completely and stoically against moving our forces from Iraq, and instead wants to strike a mutual compromise with the citizens and government of Iraq, which would result in a peaceful coexistence of American forces and the people of Iraq. Such a coexistence based on mutual goals and trust will lead to the rise of Iraq as a more democratic and free state.
