Just because President Obama said it as a candidate doesn't make it right.
Unfortunately, many are so overwhelmed by him that they don't know the difference.

Or am I wrong in thinking that Democrats should never like any war that lasts 13 and a half years, for any reason?

3. Read one or two threads regarding the troop increase, and you'll understand.
The only excuse the supporters have left is that Obama said it in 2008 so it's okay now. Apparently the man can't change his mind.

5. sorry -- that first post perhaps came off as snarky -- I couldn't tell if this was pro or anti war
I'm an anti (as is probably clearly from my posts around here), but couldn't tell if your original OP was taking the side of the "changey" campaign trail Obama, or the business-absolutely-as-usual President we have now.

2. No one's telling you to like it.
They're telling you to stop squawking about being "lied to" when he clearly stated that if elected he would escalate in Afghanistan.

6. Who has EVER said they LIKE war on this site?
Why can't some of these OPs speak in something other than hyperbole?
