In addition to all that, Obama specified to al Maliki that any SOFA had to be passed by the full Iraqi parliament, something never before required.9807875Obama pulled out government aids that where guiding the Iraqi government. Obama wanted out and nothing less.
Yes he pulled them just before the Bush deadline said they had to go. They had to go unless the Iraqis and their parliament decided they would grant immunity just like they did up until 2012. They decided not to grant immunity and no one thought it would pass.
Anyway General Petraeus does not agree with your assessment. I will take his word over yours and EconChick who didn't even know that Iraq's Parliament approved the 2008 SOFA.
Heck, it's almost as if Obama didn't really want a SOFA . . . lol.
LOL, I made the mistake of telling NOTFOOLED this about 2 months ago and he's been playing dumb ever since then.
He gets really confused when we talk about the 2008 SOFA that was never meant to be the final SOFA and what I keep calling the 2011 SOFA that they had verbally almost completely agree to until O screwed it up.
