The status of the Status of Forces Agreement does seem to be the reason for the decision,
but I doubt their would be much happiness in Merc'ville if the decision were to be the other way.
IIRC, it was the Iraq's decision to tell Bush to get US troops out of Iraq.
But it matters not a twit... getting almost all troups out is the event
and it's happening on Obama's watch, so he gets the credit this time.
