Anyone whom thought he was going to end both wars, clearly didn't listen to what he was saying and heard what they wanted to hear. He said it many times that he intended to refocus on the war in Afghan something that has already paid it's dividends with the death of bin Laden as well as several other high ranking al qaeda members.
