Yes, simultaneously with the end of drone strikes. All of these things ended in '08, when he was elected, remember, just like he promised.

- mpyne 13y agoHe never promised to end drone strikes. In fact I believe he emphasized drone strikes even then in order to shift away from American "boots on ground" and the then-current policy of using JDAM bomb strikes (which are even more dangerous w.r.t. collateral damage).
- madaxe 13y agoYou're quite right, actually - he didn't promise anything about drones - as at that point they didn't officially exist, most likely.
