Here's the easy answer.

Shit changes.

Different people, different agendas,

What are you upset about? That Obama's "promise" was "broken"? Come on. Thinking that any statement by any president is permanent, representing an unchangeable position by the president and our country is naive at best. I think you are probably more alarmed by the prospect of more combat, and particularly getting embroiled in fucking Iraq *again*. And that your longstanding dislike for President Obama gives you a wide open shot to take at him by tarring him with the label "promise breaker". Ok, go ahead, take your cheap shot. Get it out of your system.

But if there's more, if you want a serious discussion about what's going on in Iraq, with ISIS, our interests and how to protect them, that's ok too. Your call.
