Obama's Antiwar Critics

But antiwar activists and leaders who have protested the war for years were not so sure. A stretched-out exit. Maybe 50,000 troops still in Iraq for years. And a new surge in Afghanistan.

Barack Obama promised an end to the Iraq war. Many activists worked hard to support him. So, what do they think now?

This hour, On Point: Antiwar voices on Obama’s war plans.

You can join the conversation. Did you vote for Barack Obama because of his promise to end the Iraq war? Is President Obama delivering? Coming close enough for now? Or not?Guests:
