What we wanted to do was end the war in Iraq that was actually taking away from the war on terror because it had nothing to do with terror attacks.  And Obama withdrew the troops like he promised (in fact Bush was planning the same thing).

The tried and true playbook against any democrat that I can recall in my lifetime be it Carter/Mondale/Dukakis/Kerry/Obama/Hilly is to claim they will raise taxes and lose wars.  I'm not saying it's true, it's just the go-to knock against them in hyperbolic election spin.

Perhaps this was a longshot of a comment, but I recall the townies in 2008 referring to Obama as "Barak They'll O-Bomb-Us" which was a rather unclever way of saying if we put a democrat in office we're going to look weak and lose the war. I also recall "Al Qaida is hoping Obama wins the election" 

It goes back to the whole "Do you really think 3rd rate dictators would laugh at us and burn our flags if Ronald Reagan were president?" style campaigns.
