Iraq: U.S. forces out, Turkish force in - UPI.com

"Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had permission from lawmakers to negotiate for some U.S. military trainers to stay behind to help rebuild the Iraqi military. Those negotiations broke down, however, when Baghdad said any remaining troops wouldn't be protected from prosecution."

You've never explained how Obama should have changed the minds of the Iraqis.

Iraq was a Bush failure from day 1... "Mission Accomplished!"...

I am not part of his diplomatic team. Perhaps he could have asked Bush how how did it?

So Obama's continuation of Bush policies were no reflection on him? Interesting.

Isn't this part of the terms Bush was a part before he left office? Why didn't he just negotiate at the start of the war that as long as there are troops in Iraq they will have legal protections?

Yikes just do some of your own research. I keep spoon feeding you and you get more curious. Do a little of your own research. This is the last time I will help you. The SOFA was negotiated in 2008. So Bush was able to negotiate keeping over 100 thousand troops in Iraq under favorable terms. Obama couldn't negotiate keeping 3000 troops there for a year.
