Ego Tripping

Well, he did say over and over in the campaign trail that he would 're-focus' efforts on both Afghanistan and Pakistan, so anybody that thought he would pull out of the war(s) were impressing their expectations on him...he was quite clear that this is exactly what he intended to do. Interestingly enough on this issue, he's actually living up to his campaign promises. :/

Now if the latter half of the promise holds true, I'll be quite amazed (pull out before the first term ends).

Whatever though, The Presidency (even though they call it the Commander In Chief) obviously has little to no sway over what the military industrial complex wants. There's clearly something we want there, I'm guessing it has to do with oil and opium.
