It is good to keep the pressure on the Obama administration to get out of Iraq and Afganistan, but they are and will always be "Bush's Wars," he took full responsibility for them and it is he who should be held to account for all deaths associated with the occupation. The question should be why Obama feels the need to continue the Bush legacy...
