>>Why do you describe Afghanistan as Obama's war? It had been going on for seven years when he took office. He can fairly be criticized for not getting us out of it when he clearly believed that was what should be done. IMO there is no rational reason that Afghanistan has been the longest war in our history. They are not a strategic ally or any other kind of ally. If they want to continue duking it out against all comers they can do that without our involvement.

>Uh, hello! where did I write that? I never wrote "what" Obama's wars is about or what it is referring to. I made NO mention of Afghanistan or even Iraq or any other location at all. You made that JUMP in your mind only. I'm surprised you criticized me for things I never wrote. You don't even know what this thread is about. Silly.

>What section of chatter is this thread in?

My mistake. You were referring to a book title, not the provenance of the wars.

If I bump into Bob Woodward I'll ask him why he chose that title ;-)
