He ended the War in Iraq, but not in Afghanistan.
Obama believes that the war in Iraq ought to end.
When Mr. Obama came into office, there were two wars going on, both begun under President Bush. One was in Iraq and the other was in Afghanistan. President Obama kept his promise to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home, but the war is Afghanistan is continuing, and US withdrawal is not scheduled to occur till 2014.
Iraq
Yes he did
Yes and no. He did not start any wars, but he inherited two wars from President Bush. Mr. Obama ended most of the US involvement in Iraq and brought the vast majority of the troops home in 2011. He is currently overseeing the end of US involvement in Afghanistan, and expects most of the troops to be home by next year.
Yes and no. When he became president in 2008, the US was still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, two wars begun under President Bush. One of Mr. Obama's campaign promises was to end US involvement in Iraq and bring most of the troops home, a promise that he kept. However, the US is still involved in Afghanistan, although there is a plan in place to end involvement there in 2014.
He thinks he should end it soon.
No, there is no evidence of it. This was a war that began under President Bush, like the war in Iraq. When he took office, Mr. Obama promised he would end our long and costly involvement in Iraq and bring the troops home, which he did; and then, he said he would gradually wind down and conclude U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. Presidents cannot instantly end a war, no matter who they are. It takes time and a sensible military strategy to achieve a successful draw-down.
Obama wants to take the troops out of Iraq by the end of 2010.
During his presidency, Barack Obama implemented policies to wind down the US involvement in wars, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. He withdrew US troops from Iraq in 2011, fulfilling a promise to end the war there. In Afghanistan, Obama announced a drawdown of troops, aiming to end combat operations by the end of 2014. However, it is worth noting that the situation in both countries remains complex and conflicts continue despite the efforts to reduce US military presence.
before he got elected he promised that he would stop the Iraq war isn't that still going on but in Afghanistan
The Afghanistan War in Afghanistan. Iraq is currently plagued by an insurgency that the Iraqi central government is working to overcome.
