I agree, but it wasn’t just Maliki who wanted US troops out of Iraq in 2011? Maliki (Shi’ites), Sunnis and even Kurds

Then these 2011 articles by Washington Times: "The U.S. and Iraq had been in talks about keeping more American troops there beyond 2011, but Iraqi leaders, facing fierce domestic political cross-currents, refused to give U.S. soldiers immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts. The U.S. refused to allow its soldiers to stay without such a guarantee."

There’s an article on the side bar that says Iran kept us from staying. If all this is true then Obama probably is holding a huge grudge against Malaki, and now when the guy comes crawling he’s letting him and his people spin.

Funny how mr hope and change is the most hated man on the planet. Maybe in like ten years he’ll get a feel for the office but for now the guy is a rank amateur.

You’d think as petty as he is, he’d wipe out his adversaries...or at least threaten. He doesn’t understand the walk softly carry a big stick...thingy.
