Bush had some ups and down through the Afghanistan war. it was either you love him or you hated him. His invasion had led on the invasion of Afghanistan in October 7, 2001. IT was the U.S. and british forces and we dropped bombs on Afghanistan. Which we were targeting a terrorist. It turned out to be a great strike and ended up starting a war. A bad thing about Bush is that people think that he just left a huge mess for Obama to deal with. Since he left 260,000 troops in afghanistan when he left.
Some Good things happened during both of their time like when they did invade afghanistan. Their health care started to get better and lives started getting longer from 42 to 62. It also saved over 100,000 kids lives from 2004 t0 2010.
When Obama was running for his second term he has promised to bring home 10,000 troops by the end of the 2011 year. Then also 23,000 more by the end of the summer. Which some people said help him win his second term. They also should all be gone by 2014. But did he actually do it? No all of the troops are not gone and will not be by 2014.
During Obama’s presidency during the war he did lot of good things though like making a website so that woman in Afghanistan can have a voice and speak. I think this is a great thing for woman myself. Another bad thing is that since we are ruining their land farmers are having more troubles. The good thing though is that we are sending plants supplies and such things like that. We are also helping them build hundreds of schools so they will have better education, and their new generation will be more technological.
