This is typical government doublespeak. Most buy into the BS. They pretend like Obama and the D's are anti-war, and are "pulling back" when the reality is that both parties are pro-war, and the war was a total disaster from any angle, but instead of ending it, Obama kept 40k troops in Iraq (not ending it). And of course, it's still a disaster, because war doesn't fucking work. And now you have nutcases like Jeb actually defending the action, and pretending like the democrats were "just too weak", so he wants to revamp everything and completely destroy Iraq.
And people like this girl asking the question actually believe that the way to prevent all this is to vote Democrat.
This is absolutely no different than saying you're for "small government" and then creating budgets bigger than any democrat.
The sociopathic politicians just keep rolling along with the narrative, and sadly, even new generations are still buying this left vs right bullshit.
