He did it for the entire first term keeping our troops in Iraq / Afghanistan even though the majority of Americans wanted to cut and run, and even though he RAN and initially got elected (in part) on a platform of ending the wars.
Obama spoke to his advisors including the leaders overseas and decided to extend our presence in Iraq / Afghanistan despite popular opinion and despite his initial assessment of the situation as a Democratic candidate.
Even if you don't agree with anything he's done as Commander in Chief, you should at least recognize that your above statement was false.
