mikeg 10767118Obama's failure to get a SOFA deal with Iraq has proven to be a huge disaster,
Why was it Obama's failure to get a SOFA deal with Iraq? Obama had no authority or influence to change minds of Iraq's parliamentarians or Ayatollah Sistani or Muqtada al Sadr or Maliki who all opposed granting US troops immunity from Iraq's courts.
Obama offered to extend the terms of the Bush SOFA but it was the Iraqis that wanted to get rid of immunity. No one warned Obama that failure to leave troops would create such a disaster that warranted stationing troops in Iraq without immunity.
Obama is a failure as he cut and run and chose to do nothing..
However you can bet Obama will once again show he is lair..
Boots on the ground!!
