You cannot be so stupid to believe that the only reason that the negotiations failed was because of something ttat Panetta speculates was caused by the lack of Obama’s heartfelt enthusiasm and direct personal involvement and not trying to use a threat against the Iraqis to persuade the unpersuadable to pass a deal that includes immunity through an anti- American controlled Iraqi legislature.
Or can you?
Panetta has made it quite clear in his book that the negotiations failed because Barack Obama and his inner circle at the White House resisted all attempts by negotiators at the State Department and the Department of Defense to reach an agreement with the Iraqis for a new SOFA.
