"1.Why not? Afghanistan is horrible given the circumstances, and Iraq has pretty much stabilized. Again, Obama was elected as the guy that'd get us out, not keep us in - a promise he has woefully went against."

Yes, he promised to end the war in Iraq, and he has kept that promise. The troops will be completely withdrawn by the completition of his first term. Also, Obama was not elected to withdraw from Afghanistan. That is patently erroneous. He promised to increase the troop count in Afghanistan, and he has kept that promise.
