The conditions we should be looking at is when the deadline came up....so 2011. The conditions were certainly better....but not perfect.What conditions on the ground and In legal and sovereignty terms were different in 2008 with respect to SOFA when Bush was a negotiator and 2009 when Obama became a negotiator and needed to stick to the deadlines abd conditions that Bush agreed to., when Obama took office he was handed a free and stable Iraq, and he failed to renegitate a proper SOFA
The main condition that changed in 2011, was that it was an election year for Obama and Xiden and they needed something to campaign on since, they couldn't really campaign on domestic success given the double digit UE they created, their failed "stimulus" and bailing out donors...so they campaigned on the false narrative they were winning or had won the war on terror.
2011? Egypt, Libya and Syria all went to hell in 2011.
