So many links, so little time ;-)

I now realize I missed the point of the thread title, even if I suspect it wasn't completely innocent. My mistake.

>>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.
