I'm on my way out the door and don't have time right now to look it up but from memory Bush didn't want to pull the troops until the country had stable leadership and even vetoed at least one bill passed by congress. In any case the last troops left early 2012, thats 3 years after Obama took office. ..he could have stopped the full withdrawal until it was safe to do so.
