You state there was no way for an extension of SoFA except you forgot to add factual information to back your claim.
Was the SOFA extended beyond 2010? No, That is my fact. You and Krauthammer think it could have been extended but you have no facts to back it up. And you never will find a fact that supports your outlandish claim.
My original fact that you are ignoring was that Iraq was a two year old totally sovereign state by the end of 2011. Obama had no cards or incentives to convince the people of Iraq that the fucked up job that Bush did in Iraq should be continued by the presence of combat troops and or trainers with immunity from Iraqi law.
Do the current 300 advisers have SOFA status?
I can wait
