Obama Out Of Afghanistan 'Psychologically,' Woodward Says (VIDEO)

Not formally, it doesn't.

You and I can agree that members of Congress enjoyed non-responsibility, non-oversight of these wars during the Bush years because it gave them "plausible deniability", but it is somewhat murkier for them under Obama.  They can only get away with saying, "But Obama inherited these wars, he didn't start them, and as such he has few, if any, choices (and that means we have even fewer choices but to 'support the troops') and must keep paying the bills" for so long.  Until civil unrest at home demands they end it now, or we can't borrow anymore money to pay for the wars.  The latter is unlikely to happen as we are providing the security for our bankers to do business in these countries.  So as long as the wars continue, China, et al, will continue loaning us money (that our great-grandchildren will be paying off; in the short term, we will be losing our social safety nets, healthcare, and most everything else as federal, state and county budgets are slashed).  All that is left is the former, and I don't see the People taking to the streets with pitchforks and torches, do you?
