A Decade of War

President Obama put out a new ad which highlights the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and his plan to end the war in Afghanistan.

The script: “A decade of war. That cost us dearly… President Obama ended the Iraq war. Mitt Romney would have left thirty thousand troops there, and called bringing them home ‘tragic.’ Obama’s brought thirty thousand soldiers back from Afghanistan. And has a responsible plan to end the war. Romney calls it Obama’s ‘biggest mistake.’ It’s time to stop fighting over there and start rebuilding over here.”

Alex Burns: “The commercial amounts to a preview of how Barack Obama will cast his
foreign policy record in the third and final debate with Romney, and it
underscores the need for both candidates to make foreign policy relevant
to voters as a concrete subject with implications here in the United
States.”

Meanwhile, the Romney campaign is out with a press release titled, “We can’t afford four more years of Obama’s foreign policy.”
