\u201cWe\u2019ve ended two wars.\u201d \u2014 Barack Obama, July 21, 2015, at\u00a0a DSCC fundraiser<\/a>\u00a0held at a \u201cprivate residence\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we have ended two wars responsibly, and brought home hundreds of American troops, we salute this new generation of veterans.\u201d \u2014\u00a0National Security Adviser Susan Rice<\/a>, May 20, 2015<\/p>\n

\u201cHis presidency makes a potentially great story: the first African-American in the White House, who helped the country recover from recession and ended two wars.\u201d \u2014 Dominic Tierney,\u00a0The Atlantic<\/em>, January 15, 2015<\/a>, \u201cAmerica Will Miss Obama When He\u2019s Gone\u201d<\/p>\n

Report from Airwars, August 2, 2015,\u00a0detailing civilian deaths<\/a>\u00a0from continuous U.S.-led airstrikes in Iraq and Syria:<\/p>\n

New York Times<\/em>, today,<\/a>\u00a0headlined: \u201cU.S. Planes Strike Near Kunduz Airport as Fight Rages On\u201d<\/p>\n

American warplanes bombarded Taliban-held territory around the Kunduz airport overnight, and Afghan officials said American Special Forces were rushed toward the fighting. \u2026 The situation for the Afghan forces improved somewhat toward midnight: American warplanes conducted airstrikes at 11:30 p.m. and again at 1 a.m. on Taliban positions near the airport, an American military spokesman said. \u2026 Around the same time, soldiers with the American Special Forces headed out toward the city with Afghan commandos, according to Afghan government officials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you know when you\u2019re an out-of-control empire? When you keep bombing and deploying soldiers in\u00a0places where you boast that you\u2019ve ended wars. How do you know you have\u00a0a\u00a0hackish propagandist for a president? When you celebrate him for \u201cending two wars\u201d in the very same places that he keeps bombing.<\/p>\n
