ANOTHER Obama campaign promise kept- Irag (Iraq, crimes, military, government)

[Gurbie]

Iraq may be on the verge of civil war... but guess what??? For the first time in eight years, it's NOT OUR PROBLEM!

Lots of luck, Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds. I hope you work things out.

Thank you, President Obama!

Thank you, President Obama!

So why didn't he pull out troops as soon as he took office? The result would have been the same.

He didn't exactly keep his promise. There are still 17,000 private contractors there which WE are all paying for which isn't cheap.

Bringing the troops home the way Obama did it was just a PR stunt to make people think he delivered on a promise but 17k Americans are still over there.

'Cause the repugnants called this a cowardly move. But the Iraqi gov't stuck to the timeline agreed to by Chimpy McFlightsuit- so that answers your post

If the Obama administration could have worked out a deal where U.S. troops would be prosecuted by the military and not the Iraq government for those committing crimes, troops would still be there.
