Nope. I obviously wrote that. But Bush's plan called for leaving troops there to protect the peace. Obama as candidate opposed it, strengthening Iraq's hand. Had Obama supported Pres Bush we would more likely have had a presence.
Bush's finest moment on Iraq: SOFA, not the surge
lol, keep trying.
Bush wanted to keep troops there until Iraq had enough force to keep the peace.
Now that the Taliban is taking over again, it will lead to a 3 region division of the area of control of Sunni, Shiite and Kurds in Iraq that gives Iran the power to take over. Why? Because Iran knows the different groups will go war over which of them will control the oil.
Why do you think Iran wants to help?
Vice President Joe Bidden thought that this would be a great idea. He has no idea of what he was proposing.
The Taliban is taking over again and will do the same thing they were doing before, by establishing Al Qaeda training grounds again. They have been doing this since 2012.
Al-Qaeda making comeback in Iraq, officials say
Then the left will say how did this happen when AL Qaeda attacks the U.S. again in the future.
They will blame the Republicans like they always do.
