He didn’t say otherwise.
And Iraq has made such request.
This was his original statement:
Likewise when people here support exactly what Obama has done in pulling out our troops from Iraq before its time and hamstringing the US so that terrorists like ISIS can move in.
The U.S. military presence in Iraq officially ended on December 16, 2011. Are you trying to make the case that Obama somehow "pulled out our troops before its time" because they weren't left there until the agreement expired on December 31st? LOL.
And Iraq has made such request.
And I understand the U.S. has made a commitment to send several hundred military advisors to accommodate Iraq's request. Is that not good enough for you?
