Obama pulled out because that was the agreement we signed with Iraq....Bush signed it
That is true. The problem was that the Pentagon strongly advised leaving a contingency force in Iraq to counter exactly what eventually happened. Obama was more interested in keeping his campaign promise and taking credit for the Bush agreement than playing hardball with Iraq and forcing a SOF agreement. The result of hie piss poor judgement was ISIS taking over parts of Syria and Iraq.
False...We left because we signed the agreement to leave (Bush Signed) and Malaki wanted to prosecute US soldiers for war crimes
Iraq PM: Immunity issue scuttled US troop deal
Iraq's prime minister said Saturday that U.S. troops are leaving Iraq after nearly nine years of war because Baghdad rejected American demands that any U.S. military forces to stay would have to be shielded from prosecution or lawsuits.
So I hear people say we should've stayed. How? By ripping up the agreement and kicking out Malaki who wanted to lock up soldiers and make it a new US territory?
