he just didn't interfere with the agreement that Maliki and Bush signed together.
And he doesn't pay attention to Gates or Petraeus.
You don't seem to understand that these 2 wars were dumped on him.
One that we should have never been involved in and the other that Bush, Cheney and Rummy never finished.
So feel free to bitch to the cows come home but I happen to have a respect for a president and especially a guy like Gates who happens to have had the backbone to stick around and clean up the mess.
