U.S. quietly withdraws 2,000 troops from Afghanistan

The US was told to leave Iraq. That is public knowledge.

 

If you are referring to the time Obama pulled the troops Republicans didn't believe Obama tried hard enough to get a new SOFA in place. We all know Obama campaigned on getting the troops out so it's possible he didn't try hard enough. As for this time Iraq is just saying they don't want the US in their country for a long time. We shall see.

 

Sure, one can argue he didn't try hard enough, but there was a deadline that had to be met.

 

There was enough time for Obama to negotiate for a new SOFA. It was also public knowledge Obama campaigned on pulling the troops out. If I were a betting man which I'm not, I'd bet on the belief Obama chose to keep his promise rather than try to get a new deal.

 

Or we were told to leave.

 

The SOFA had been signed and renegotiated many times.

 

Sooooo....ISIS didnt rise up in the north and take Mosul? You are aware that this happened, right? And you are aware it happened because of the vacuum that occured when we pulled out of Iraq too early? And you apparently think that not hurting the feelings of corrupt Iraqi politicians is more important than stopping the rise of ISIS that everyone knew was going to happen. Sure, we might not have known at the time that it would be called ISIS, but we were joking about how screwed the Iraqis were as we were packing up and turning **** over to the Iraqis.

 

You were there?

 

I have already provided info in the past, it was 2004. Your insistence on false data is long in the tooth.

 

After close to 20 years it is about time!

Thanks to president trump honoring campaign promises.

Make note for you will never see another president keeping promises unless tulsi is president one day
