Now it seems Republicans have managed to keep a endless undeclared war going on for ever it seems.
Obama did his best to shut it down, but now another Republican is in office and he's about to send another 3k troops to rachet it up again.
Yet people say both parties are the same..

It was President Nixon that declared the war on drugs, not President Reagan.
No President Obama did not do his best to shut down any conflict and infact broaden the conflict/conflicts. The dead line to withdraw from Iraq was established by President Bush and the Iraqi's and in that case President Obama just followed thru on the agreement. He actually escalated the Afghanistan conflict and engaged us in additional conflicts as well as killing thousands with the wide use of drones.
You have a problem with the facts sometimes and you are smarter than that. It just harms your credibility and gives ammo to the trolls to go after you. I have a difficult understanding why you do it?
