Another thing to remember is that Obama never said he wanted to end the war in Afghanistan. In fact he was in favour of reinforcing the US presence there. This is something that a lot of disappointed Obama voters forget. Neal's right: he was a stark contrast to Bush, so much so that many people projected their own disappointments from 2000-2008 onto a young and fairly unknown candidate. THere's a lot of false disappointment out there. Plenty valid, too.
Iraq is of course another story.
