We left in accordance with the troop withdrawal timeline established by George W Bush. Obama wanted to keep 10,000 troops in Iraq past the deadline. Every time Obama takes credit for ending the war in Iraq he is being extremely dishonest.
Bush was forced to agree on a deadline because he and most republicans felt it wasnt necessary to think about getting out of Iraq. Bush established the time but Obama drew up the plans and meet with officials to plan HOW to take the troops out.
Uh yeah, of course Obama handled the actual withdrawal. He was THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF at the time. Doesn't change the fact he wanted to extend our military presence beyond Bush's deadline. For him to take credit for "ending a war" he wanted to continue is ridiculous.
President Barack Obama enters the final hours of the 2012 campaign with an edge in the hunt for the 270 electoral votes needed to win and more ways to reach that magic number.
