Well, for starters, he probably could have voted for things that mandated troop withdrawal. You know, instead of voting against them. And then voting for things that amounted to, "You should maybe probably kind of get our people out of Iraq eventually, Mr. President.... okay we said what they wanted to hear don't listen to us"

Obama was never really for leaving Iraq, just like a good portion of the Democratic party. And it certainly looks like he wants an even bigger piece of the war pie, what with getting his own troop "surge" and firing missiles into Pakistan while laughing at the idea of respecting international borders.

You were responding to France guy with what I quoted from you. He was clearly referring to it as the general English word. He was probably off context by doing so, but he still wasn't wrong in his definition of "war".
