People forget at this time that Obama was getting a lot of flak about the troops remaining in Iraq. He actually pushed for our troops to remain but the Iraqi leader said no dice. Interesting enough, Trump is shone on TV as stating we should pull out our troops. Always the problem with Trump is that he never can keep up what he says from one moment to the next. So he was in favor of going in, then he was in favor of us leaving once we did the job and of course he is not trying to pin everything on the existing administration even if he was in line with everything until the moment he decided to run for office.

Iraq would of allowed our troops to stay but they wanted to get rid of the protection that US troops had. US troops couldn't be tried in Iraqi court for war crimes and they wanted that lifted. Bush wanted that stipulation kept and when Iraq wouldn't he was pretty much forced to come up with the withdrawl policy.

have to respect both sides really. There was no way the US would let Iraq try US soilders and Iraq couldn't accept having soiders there that existed outside of their sovereignty. A complete lose lose situation.
