Is it your understanding that Barrack Obama tried to get a SOFA, negotiated for a SOFA, but then because if the intransigence of the Iraqi leader failed to get one? If so it is a rewrite of what actually happened wherein BHO had no intent on negotiating a SOFA or having troops remain in Iraq.

His concern was 'ending the war in Iraq', and he said so repeatedly.
