President Obama’s emissions-cutting plan sets an example for the world

We closed the Iraqi theater of war taking hundreds of thousands of troops out of that country:

The U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (official name: Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq On the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence in Iraq) was a status of forces agreement (SOFA) between Iraq and the United States, signed by President George W. Bush in 2008. It established that U.S. combat forces would withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. forces will be completely out of Iraq by December 31, 2011.[1] The pact required criminal charges for holding prisoners over 24 hours, and required a warrant for searches of homes and buildings that were not related to combat.[1] U.S. contractors working for U.S. forces would have been subject to Iraqi criminal law, while contractors working for the State Department and other U.S. agencies would retain their immunity. If U.S. forces committed still undecided "major premeditated felonies" while off-duty and off-base, they would have been subjected to an undecided procedures laid out by a joint U.S.-Iraq committee if the U.S. certified the forces were off-duty

And who is:

Its funny you all claim he ended Iraq.

I'm a left wing pacifist for the most part and would rather my country not be the world policeman but, I have to say, going from hundreds of thousands of troops in 2 ongoing theater's of war in 2009 to a fraction of that in 2015 is what was planned and executed.

Maybe you and I would like that number to be zero but, I'm pretty happy with my drone happy, boots on the ground adverse Obama.
