    no? but he did continue those wars and even escalate. he’s the drone guy. the drone strikes on weddings guy. ask me how much i give a shit if he started it. my point wasn’t that he started it, it’s that it’s funny how the US army presence all of a sudden seems bad when it’s US soil when people like him were all too happy using that army on civilians of other countries.

      Did Obama say that the Iraqis would “greet us as liberators” like your previous comment references? It’s amazing how often I see people blaming Obama for shit that Bush did.

        i didn’t say he said it. wasn’t my point though. he was only a part of the same machine. this is about US foreign policy, not what barack personally did or didn’t do.

        btw it wasn’t bush either. I’d get my facts straight if I were trying to “correct” me.
