After 8 Years of President Obama, We Are Still at War

On January 20, President Barack Obama will depart the Oval Office in much the same way as he entered eight years earlier: as a wartime Commander-in-Chief.

U.S. military operations against an alphabet soup of terrorist organizations around the world have proven to be a lot more unpredictable than the administration previously believed (or our D.C. elites recognize or admit). In fact, on the Obama administration’s watch, the war on terrorism has expanded to new frontiers and new countries, with very little evidence that those campaigns will enhance American security or end anytime soon.
