    Clinton and Obama’s Brazen Lie About the Iraq Withdrawal
    Obama boasted about pulling troops from Iraq until it looked bad, then he blamed it on Bush.

    In the first presidential debate of the 2016 general election, Donald Trump blamed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the rise of ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. According to Trump, Obama and Clinton created a “disaster” by “the way they got out of Iraq.” This refers to the tragedy that occurred after the U.S. pulled out of Iraq, and ISIS swept through the nation while imposing Sharia law and executing, raping and enslaving the Iraqi people.

    Clinton responded to Trump that she hopes “the fact-checkers are turning up the volume and really working hard,” because “George W. Bush made the agreement about when American troops would leave Iraq, not Barack Obama.” She then asserted that “the only way that American troops could have stayed in Iraq is to get an agreement from the then-Iraqi government that would have protected our troops, and the Iraqi government would not give that.”...

    ...In reality
    , news reports that were published when the U.S. troops were withdrawn prove that Clinton and Obama are being deceitful. As documented below, the articles show that:

    the “agreement” Clinton spoke of was not intended to determine a hard date but to provide a soft placeholder.
    “everyone” expected that this date would be extended.
    the date was not extended because the Obama administration poisoned the negotiations and refused to use a simple and sure process to provide immunity to U.S. troops.
    the U.S. State Department led by Hillary Clinton was a primary actor that destroyed these negotiations.
    after the troops were pulled, Obama took credit for this and insisted that it was the right thing to do.

    These articles also show that after this decision looked disastrous in hindsight, Obama and Clinton began falsely accusing Bush of forcing them to withdraw the U.S. troops....

    ...On the day the troop withdrawal was announced, Obama gave a White House press conference in which he stated:

    “As a candidate for President, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end….”

    “After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of 2011.”...

    ...In a 2012 debate with Mitt Romney,
    Obama said to Romney, “Every time you’ve offered an opinion, you’ve been wrong.” As an example of such, Obama said “You said that we should still have troops in Iraq to this day.”

    Yet, in an August 2014 press conference, after Iraq was in the midst of what Obama called a “growing humanitarian crisis” and potential “genocide,” a reporter asked him if he had “second thoughts about pulling all ground troops out of Iraq.” Obama responded, “What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my decision.” Obama then gave the same explanation that Hillary used at the debate, which is that Bush’s agreement forced him to do this.

    In sum, Obama campaigned on a promise to pull the troops from Iraq, which he and Clinton proceeded to do against the advice of Iraq’s top army officer and U.S. military officials. Obama then took credit for this, bragged about it, and defended it as the right thing to do — up until the point when it went wrong. Then he and Clinton began saying that Bush did it.
