While President Barack Obama was running for office against Senator McCain, his largest feat, if any, was to disprove the nay sayers about his ability to lead a country as the commander in chief. When it came to the Iraqi war, Obama was quoted on several ideas and comments:
- Unwise war in Iraq distracted us from catching Bin Laden
- The surge is a tactic to contain 4 years of mismanaged war
- You don’t defeat a terrorist network by occupying Iraq
- I will only send our troops into harm’s way when necessary
- $2.7 billion each week of Iraq spending is unsustainable
- The Iraq war has undermined our security
- End the war, and end the mindset that got us into war
…the list goes on and on. However, just this week I’ve heard reports that Barack is sending more troops to Iraq and spending has surpassed $2.7 billion weekly. So is he up to par? Is President Obama coming through on his promises?
