I tend to look at this a different way- If there is a lasting peace, the credit will certainly go to George W. Bush and the outstanding efforts of our military. If things go bad quickly, the blame will fall squarely on Obama for leaving too soon.
Now, I wouldn't expect the media to take this view, but they are pretty much known liars.
As for me, I certainly hope that the efforts we made, and will still make for the next 19 months will be enough to sustain peace there for a while.
For any Democrat to try to take credit for a stable and peaceful Iraq will take a leap of logic that most people will not accept.

WANNA BET????
You’ll notice that the DAILY SOLDIER DEATH TOTALS that we have been seeing EVERY SINGLE DAY since the War On Terror began have disappeared from your nightly news shows??
MSNBC/NBC hsn’t updated the totals of soldiers killed SINCE NOVEMBER 4. Imagine that. They no longer matter now that we have a DEMOCRAT in charge.
Not even OLBERMANN care how many soldiers get killed now.
CHANGE!!!
