Answer:
President Bush announced the end of major combat operations, not that the war was over.
Explanation:
Neither President officially said the war was over. And the administration in a bit of cockiness did make a variety of statements about how the war was over (the "mission accomplished" banner, a speech by Rumsfeld, etc.). The Bush administration did not anticipate or plan for any kind of real insurgency and at the time of the invasion, there was no al-Qaeda presence in Iraq so the continued fighting came as a major surprise.
President Obama announced the end of US combat involvement in Iraq. Technically that was true--the SOFA (US status of forces agreement) had expired and the only elements we were allowed to have in Iraq at that point were trainers, security (for US personnel and our embassy) and support (for instance, the Iraqi air force was almost non-existent). But no authorized combat units.
I think to a degree we should have. In WWII I think entering the war was necessary after Pearl Harbor, but nowadays I think we need to focus on America first, and stop worrying about every little thing in other countries. America has a lot of problems it needs to fix, and pulling out of other countries affairs would be a good way to do so.
The Containment Strategy was the principal strategy adopted by the US in foreign policy matters during the Cold War era.
It aimed to stop the expansion of the national enemy: communism, and in turn, of the URSS and the countries under its influence, that were denominated the Eastern Bloc. It consisted on responding to any attempt of expansion performed by the URSS, seeking to spread communism in Eastern Europe, Korea, China Africa, Vietnam, and Latin America.
