Likewise when people here support exactly what Obama has done in pulling out our troops from Iraq before its time and hamstringing the US so that terrorists like ISIS can move in.

Correct. It's 100% Obama's making for losing the peace in Iraq, and likely much of the rest of the Middle East.

Obama had no choice in pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq. Once the Iraqi government insisted that U.S. military personnel had to be subject to Iraqi law as a condition of the status of forces agreement between the two countries, the U.S. government has no business leaving them over there unless it's to overthrow the new government and lay waste to the entire country on the way out the door.

The biggest mistake the U.S. made over there was in deluding itself into thinking that Iraq even had a sovereign government that was capable of negotiating any kind of agreements like that.

P.S. -- The U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement was signed by George W. Bush in 2008.
