How many times do we have to go over this?

So what if it was negotiated during the Bush Administration? Does Obama not have the power to renegotiate new terms as he sees fit and put the pressure on the new Iraqi government to keep the troops there until we feel that they have the situation under control??  We are the occupier, we are the ones that should decide when the New Government is ready to handle themselves, not them.

What cities did they take prior to the re-branding and/or Fallujah?
