Now are you missing Bush?

Imagine how the American people would feel if the President had done this against overwhelming American opinion.
We're way ahead of you guys Jack--public opinion only matters when it's PPACA, not when it's losing another thousand or more USA soldiers . :peace

There wouldn't have been significant casualties, and ISIS would not have become a problem in Iraq.
 
What's usually ridiculous is that you can't debunk the fact that Maliki wanted sharia law for our soldiers.
why would you support a SOFA like that ? :peace
That's unusually ridiculous.
 
So what? The SoFA was meant to allow GWB's successor to negotiate the onward agreement. That's why it extended well into the next POTUS term.
So What? LMMFAO A contract is a contract Jack.PERIOD!!!!
 
Once again you dodge American opinion.
Never fear though--the President is going to war--
And guess what--FOX and GOP politicians are bitching and moaning about that .

He would not have to do anything had he executed GWB's vision from the start.
 
BHO recently compelled Maliki's departure from office with no troops in country.
Maliki had no support within Iraq, he was not going to get a Constitutional change to extended his position....and his Shia based/designed military ran from ISIS. You just keep on misunderstanding the situation in Iraq....but then this is not surprising for a neocon.



Imagine what a determined POTUS could have done with upwards of 15,000 still in Iraq, not to mention extensive infrastructure and the political access that afforded.
Imagine all you want, you still haven't gotten close to the reality of the situation nor can you explain how a SOF was going to be forced down the throat of the Iraq Congress or Maliki.


Beyond that, in the Middle East politicians' public statements in one direction often mask a true intent in the other direction. And finally, there's always good old mutual back-scratching deal making.
You should write comedy, like unknown knowns and other nonsense.
 
The American people were against a residual ground force under Sharia law.
The GOP would have crucified Obama for that also.
The Nixon playbook is simple and effective .

You have a vested interest in making a mountain out of a molehill. An extended SoFA was well within our reach had we wanted it.
 
I doubt if GWB wanted Sharia Law for our soldiers.
He's so far more honorable than that .

There would have been no Sharia law.
 
You have a vested interest in trotting out lame FOX/GOP talking points . :peace

So you keep repeating without explanation. Nothing comes of nothing, Dr Ryan.
 
Bush is an honorable man.
