re: #303 Gus 802

Fact. The Afghanistan and Pakistan war is more relevant to the war on terror than the Iraq War. Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan and the Taliban is a product of Pakistan. Since taking office, the Obama administration has increased military operation in that theater by over a factor of 2.

Obama might not say “Islamic extremism” but we’ve been killing far more Al-Qaeda and Taliban than before January of 2009.

I’ve said this with sarcasm before, but I feel as though I see a sense with some people that Obama’s actual pursuit of the war isn’t enough because they don’t feel that he’s fully ‘engaged’ or committed in some way they generally can’t define.
