While I don't disagree with you that Obama wasn't overly concerned about getting a new agreement, you must also realize he did not have a willing partner. The Iranian stooge that Bush promoted as Prime Minister along with the Iranians already had what they wanted.......a signed agreement that the US would leave Iraq. Bush signed that agreement not Obama.New agreements can be made..............while he made the agreement Obama had no intention of trying to make a deal to ensure they wouldn't have the intel backing and support needed to assist the Iraqi's in holding the North...................Obama wanted out.............period.................the Iraqi's knew that............Was this written into the agreement that he signed?The Battle ongoing was a Civil War between Shiite and Sunni factions...........left over Baathist from Saddam wanting the power back..................The agreement Bush was going for was DEPENDENT ON THE CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND.........................Bush stated that pulling out cold turkey would result in what has happened.....................As did Romney.............................It is such an odd defense that defies logic. Bush created a democracy in Iraq that was a success until Obama lost it. How did Obama lose it. By not going against public opinion and breaking the contract that Bush signed with his successful democratic government. The contract that was supposed to prove Bush's success, that Iraq could stand on its own. Some of you must be contortionists in your day job.
It doesn't matter..................Obama made the FINAL CALL and it was HIS FINAL DECISION...............I'm sick of the blame game..........because the Generals, Intel agencies, Bush, Romney ALL SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN when Obama made the final decision......................
He didn't listen.........he wanted out at the first opportunity.............and hauled ass...................knowing later if the place went to shit that he could hold up the document and say IT'S BUSHES FAULT................What a hell of a CNC......................pffft.....................
I got out of the military because I couldn't stomach anymore of Clinton after Somalia.................and now the chump Obama is even worse to our people in Uniform...........
The BUCK STOPS with WHO MADE THE CALL..............and it WAS WRONG.
The agreement Bush was going for was DEPENDENT ON THE CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND
Had Romney been in office............they would have cut another deal to CEMENT the VICTORY...........not CUT AND RUN.
