Then again, We invaded Iraq, we destroyed their government, we put a ex ambassador in total control. But that was not a occupation.....nooooooooo...

Wrong. It was an occupation until the Iraqis elected a new government.

So no sofa was needed because Iraq was now a government approved sovereign nation.

A SOFA was needed with the legitimately elected government of Iraq.

I said that we did it totally wrong. We should have occupied them, I said, for at least 30 years. and NO SOFA. So there we are....right back where we started.

You are back where YOU started. There is no way we would occupy Iraq for 30 years. Our objective was to remove Saddam and prevent Iraq from becoming a sanctuary for AQ. Our big mistake was not leaving a residual force to assist Iraq in its transition. We failed to get a SOFA, which was by design. Obama and probably most of the American people wanted us to get out entirely. Hence Obama made sure that no SOFA would be obtained so he could use it as a pretext to leave.
