Bush recognized what would happen if we pulled out too early. He called for a surge and it worked. By 2011, Iraq was pacified, that is until Obama ordered a complete withdrawal of US troops from the country. Everything happening now was forewarned against by President Bush in 2007.

Let's not forget, that it clearly wasn't important enough for you to get your fat ass off the couch and down to a recruiting station...
But let's be honest here, Iraq was not "pacified". If the only thing keeping it pacified was the presence of American troops, it wasn't "pacified".
And how long would we had to have stayed to make the Sunnis and Shi'ites love each other.
Here's a hint. The Sunnis and Shi'ites have been fighting each other for 1400 years.
