As is the case with every verbal event Obama conducts, what he claims is offset by what he claims.

Scott Wilson / Washington Post:

President Obama took credit in 2012 for withdrawing all troops from Iraq.  Today he said something different.  —  President Obama surprised a few people during a news conference Thursday by claiming that the 2011 decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq, a politically popular move …   (Note:  understand that this particular headline comes from the Left leaning news portal,   Memeorandum.com)

Editorial notes:  In a debate with Mitt Romney,  Obama made it clear that he was against leaving any residual forces in Iraq,  a comment of special note,  since it came after he pulled all troops out of Iraq with a Status of Forces agreement.  His comments make it clear that he did not want a residual force in that country.  Now,  he claims the very opposite and blames Iraq for the failure.  

I am going with pre-election Obama since in that statement   -  "I don't want no stinking troops in that country" -  were the words he used to trick folks into voting for this convoluted self in 2012.  

Again and in other words,  if we hold this lying sack responsible for his words,  then he is responsible for leaving behind the sacrifices and lives-lost in the Iraqi war.  If you are a supporter of Obama,  surely,  at some point,  you have to say,  "Why doesn't he just sit down and shut the hell up."
