To be fair, Obama tried to keep troops in Iraq longer than the Bush time table called for but Iraq said no.
What will be funny is if Obama backers use that piece of information as it will show that the Iraq exit should be credited with Bush, not Obama, and Obama tried to go back on a campaign promise by staying in Iraq.
It literally doesn't matter when we leave because the same shit is going to happen. When there is a power vacuum that vacuum needs to be filled. Iraq as it is drawn on the map shouldn't even exist. At a minimum it needs to be split into three self governing countries composed mostly of Sunnis, Shites, and Kurds because they can't live together peacefully unless they're governed by the likes of Saddam. No matter what we do there ultimately the people of Iraq need to solve this themselves because no matter what we try to implement it won't solve the problem. And no matter what the people of Iraq try to implement it won't solve the problem. Because there is no solution when people hate each other this much and have been killing each other for this long over religious differences. There is no right answer.
