An American foreign Presence: Obama and Foreign Policy

Despite Obama's present contention to remove troops from Iraq within the next 14 months, I, as are many libertarians, skeptical about this point. There does not appear to be any strong effort on the part of the Obama administration to end conflict, and the Shia's do not appear to be willing to stand down. It is my contention that if conflict escalates in the middle east, we will find our new "fuhrer" sending in more troops. Moreover, Obama has been quite clear that he would like to see advancement in Afghanistan; this does not seem to line up with the campaign of "peace in the Mideast", so to speak" which he campaigned on. The facade which won this man the Presidency appears to be falling away, and what we have remaining is a man, and administration, bent on dominating the American people, both abroad and at home.
