Oh say it isn't so. Vice Liar biden called Iraq one of obama's greatest achievements.

Good, now lets evacuate from all the other countries over there, come home, and close our own borders.

DUH.

416 it was. He stopped the bleeding of US troops over there and stopped using them as living targets for any random jihadi to take pot shots at on a sat. night.

Obama did no such thing, 8:26. Educate yourself. It would benefit you greatly.
FYI - All American military forces were mandated to withdraw from Iraqi territory by 31 December 2011 under the terms of a bilateral agreement signed in 2008 by President Bush.
Obama had nothing to do with it.
Another FYI for you - As a matter of FACT the obama administration has been working for months to persuade, pressure and cajole Iraq to allow U.S. troops to remain in that country beyond the deadline. The reason they were withdrawn wasn't because obama insisted on it, but was because he tried — and failed — to get out of this obligation and have troops remain.
This is the problem with you people 8:26. You don't live in the real world. Those of us more cosmopolitan and sophisticated know a lying ghetto hustler like obama when we see one. Obama didn't "end the war in Iraq. He didn't sign any kind of treaty. No one surrendered. All he did was honor (after trying to get out of it) an agreement hammered out by President Bush.
