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.

"Obama had no choice in pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq ???"

OTFLOL !!! And you say, "When conservatives here on FreeRepublic are holding up a piece of legislation from the Clinton Administration to support an argument in favor of U.S. military action overseas, I’d say we’ve pretty much put the whole conservative movement to shame.

So, SHAME ON YOU!

And in no way included the kind of pull-out that Obama did (which you obviously support!).
