Barack Obama actually said...
If we had chosen a different path, the right path, we could have finished the job in Afghanistan. And put more resources into the fight against Bin Laden. Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Baghdad, we could have put that money into our schools, and our hospitals, rebuilding our roads and our bridges. That's what the American people need us to do right now.
