Twenty-five reasons to vote for Obama: #18--Iraq and Afghanistan

When Barack Obama was running for President in 2008, two of his campaign promises were that he would bring home the troops from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ahem:  Mission Accomplished.

The drawdown in Iraq has been completed.  Afghanistan begins in 2014.  Both have been completed with a modicum of fanfare.  Both have been done safely and securely.  While there are no guarantees, both countries have a viable chance to stand on their own.  Our standing in the world has been greatly enhanced.

There is absolutely no question that Presdent Obama's foreign policy actions have been successful.  For all the talk about Democrats being soft on defense, the President has shown we are anything but.

Peace,
