Obama said that removing all U.S. troops from Iraq was not “my decision [but Iraq's decision].”

So was Iraq commanding US troops?

Exactly, he should have forced them to accept our presence until we decided they could handle themselves. Our CIA is very adept at convincing foreign leaders to comply, or changing the leaders to those who will.

Does he do the same thing in Afghanistan? Let them decide if we stay or not? Would we have let the German’s or Japanese decide after WWII? Hell no.

We need to have overwatch for generations to come; until we have wrung the Jihad out of the natives. It’s the only path to a civilized world.

He isn't the Present of the United States for nothing. Or rather is.
