If the shit hits the fan, and oil prices move up, it’s too late to complain… especially if your own president started an unnecessary war.

Wrong.

Every American has a right to complain here. Not only has our president broken his campaign promises on war, he had a record of disentangling us from foreign wars in his first term. (Most notably Syria and Afghanistan.) So, unlike some of his other promises, this one carried weight.

He did not run on warmongering. He ran on peace.
