conix, American voters wanted troops out of Iraq, and the Iraqi parliament agreed .. by now you should know all of this and
i know by experience it's a waste of time giving it to you, and SoxFan has really covered it well, so really this just to have a
more recent bit of a summary here for others who might be tempted to continue blaming Obama for the Iraq withdrawal.

First Jeb's

"We had an agreement that the president could have signed that would have kept 10,000 troops" in Iraq.
— Jeb Bush on Wednesday, May 13th, 2015 in a response to a question after a town hall meeting

Then Cheney's

---
DICK CHENEY (1/4/2009): We've now entered into a strategic framework agreement with the Iraqis that calls for ultimately the U.S. completion of the assignment,
withdrawal of our forces from Iraq. All of those things, I think by anybody's standard, would be ... (coughs) excuse me, evidence of significant success.

Other than the invasion itself, then of course the anti-Baathification stuff up, yet again, by Bush's administration

Well because we had and ignorant POTUS that didn't even know that there were more than one type of Muslim and had no idea what
he was doing we got this SNAFU. Once Cheney made the decision to disband the bathists our fate and the Iraqi fate was sealed.

Yep.

...Iraq didn't want us there anymore. Let's face it .. it seems there are some countries and some people who
are bound to lose. Listen to this ____Iraq’s Government, Not Obama, Called Time on the U.S. Troop Presence

One more.

Obama wanted to keep at least 10Ks in Iraq. The original withdrawal of all troops was negotiated by Bush. Obama stuck to
Bush's agreement after Iraq refused t give our troops that would have remained behind immunity from Iraqi prosecution.

so for you to continue blaming Obama, for attempting to keep his election promise and for the lack of
cooperation of the Iraqi parliament, and for Bush's deal with Iraq re withdrawal, is beyond the pale.
