Obama didn't even try, douche bag.still the prezbos fault for leaving too soon
Obama was only going by the original withdrawl date that that was negotiated by Jr.
Obama was interested in staying longer, but the problem is, when they tried to renegotiate the agreement, one of the requirements was to allow their country to impose their laws and system of justice on American troops that were in country. Obama said no, and it was because it would have presented a hazard to our soldiers that were there.
Because no agreement could be found on a new negotiation, the original agreement was adhered to, which is why we left in 2014.
If you want to blame someone, blame Jr.
no obama didnt sign the deal to leave 10 thousand troops in place
Guess you missed what I'd said. The original withdrawl date (as negotiated by Jr.) in the original agreement was 2014.
In order for Obama to keep troops past 2014, a new agreement had to be negotiated, but wasn't completed, because Obama didn't want our troops to be subject to Iraqi laws.
Because a new agreement couldn't be negotiated, we had to leave by the original date.
so he couldnt work out the deal like i said
he was the president on the watch
it was his duty to do so not bushs
If the country you are negotiating a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) with doesn't agree with what you are asking, you can't force them to do so. It's their country and they can say what goes on. The sticking point was that Obama didn't want Iraq to have judicial power over the troops that were in country.
Lemmie ask you a question...............would YOU allow our troops to fall under Iraqi law, able to be processed for violation of Sharia law?
