You are aware that the Status of Forces agreement was signed by Bush in 2008 right? And that agreement required all U.S. troops to withdraw by 2011?

But negotiations were ongoing and just incomplete. The Iraqis wanted us to stay, they just wanted the pot sweetened.

In fact, they were shocked when Obama just gave up and pulled out.

So, please, stop this nonsense line that it was Bush's fault.

So would you have left the troops in Iraq without the legal protections against being prosecuted under Iraqi law?
