All was stable in 2008. Then the wobbler took over....and ran.No questions. Only the observation that the winner of the war dictates the rules from there on out. That takes balls...of which Obabble has none.If Obabble could turn around the economy, he certainly could have turned Maliki around. He CHOSE not to...so the onus is on him.Because loyalty to the Leader is one of the most elementary rules of partisanship.
First I didn't mention Carter, Reagan, Bush(41),Clinton, or Bush(43) either. Second only a partisan hack can blame Obama for the US withdrawal and the mess left by the occupation.
Obama told Maliki he would only allow US troops to remain if Maliki got parliamentary assurance that said troops would not be subject to Iraqnamese legal jurisdiction.....Maliki declined.....
Obama offered the same deal to Karzai.......though he originally resisted, it was eventually agreed that US troops would not be subject to Afghani legal jurisidiction....
Any questions?
And yet it was Scrub who caved on the timetable in 2008.....and Obama who held firm...
go figger...
