"...it was DUBYA who signed the SOFA for US forces..."

Not a Bush-bot, but the original SOFA signed by W was a holding place for a future agreement.
We were holding a lot of good cards to get a decent SOFA when we renegotiated, but Obama just said "HUH" and left - wow, that's diplomacy in action.
The decision not to negotiate must have suprised the Iraqi's, as Arabs enjoy the game of negotiation - to have Obama just toss his hand on the table and walk away was kind of like FDR at Yalta.

Come on, you know all of this - why do that Paulite knee-jerk?

ROTFLMAO! Yeah. Right. Name'em why don't ya. Care to respond to the point below while you're at it?

As for sticking around in Iraq, in case you haven’t noticed the Iraqis want us out. They demanded our troops not have immunity from Iraq law, US forces said no dice and then we got shown the exit. You demanding that we re-invade Iraq contrary to the wishes of the democratically elected government we helped put in place?
