It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory".The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement.

No lie. The standard Presidential problem. The guy may have every intention of doing so but we he gets there he finds out it cannot be done. So he does the best he thinks can be done. Which is what Obama did.

And if you watch CNN or listen to Rachel Maddow, and believe everything you hear, you'd think Trump was.

Yeah, at the time. Special conditions.

Stoller wants prices to be set by local production/wage costs, which means on average goods will be more expensive rather than the low cost offered by international supply chains.
