it was not Obama who agreed to the withdrawal schedule. It was President Bush.

And 0bama had no ability whatsoever as President in the last six years to reverse that decision or change its course. None.

Premise rejected as complete bullsh!t

You're both correct. Transforming Iraq might've worked, even though it turns out Iraq was a bad idea and on false premises. But then Obama came in and toppled a few more heavy handed leaders and destabilized more countries. Then he armed and trained terrorists in Syria to topple Assad, a very stable country. That's fueling this latest disaster.

The people arguing against Obama seem to be saying mostly that we should've done more to help the terrorists topple Assad. Maybe they should be calling for a u-turn and help Syria get rid of the terrorists.

The problem is that the foreign policy of GWB and now Obama has nothing to do with what's best for the US. It's what Saudi Arabia wants and what global oil/banking interests want.
