Bush Planned and implemented the withdrawal from Iraq.

Obama continued with Bush's plan.

Obama claimed full credit for the withdrawal.


You're missing a step in there... IIRC, the Iraqis BEGGED us to stay longer in order to stabilize things and Obama basically told them "frick you, we're going home."
