Allow me to explain the OP's question, since apparently he didn't get his point across or, more likely, most of you didn't actually read the OP and just saw the words Obama/Iraq/Blame and started shooting from the hip.
Bush Planned and implemented the withdrawal from Iraq.
Obama continued with Bush's plan.
Obama claimed full credit for the withdrawal.
The question is:
Will Obama now blame Bush for pulling out too early causing the current unrest in the country after he falsely claimed responsibility for the pullout?
Thank you...

And when you say "planned", do you mean he circled a day on the calendar? What other "planning" did he really do... especially since McCain had no intention of leaving Iraq.
Keep up the good work for thy Dear Leader GWB.

Now if you want to vent about " George Bush's war," be my guest. But George Bush isn't president anymore. Barack Obama is because he wanted the job and the responsibilities that come with the American presidency. Up to now, burying those responsibilities in the sand has never been in the job description.

The big Obama bet is that Americans' opinion-polled "fatigue" with the world (if not his leadership) frees him to create a progressive domestic legacy. This Friday Mr. Obama is giving a speech to the Sioux Indians in Cannon Ball, N.D., about "jobs and education."
Meanwhile, Iraq may be transforming into (a) a second Syria or (b) a restored caliphate. Past some point, the world's wildfires are going to consume the Obama legacy. And leave his successor a nightmare.

Obama inherited a shitty situation in Iraq. Unfortunately he sought political solutions to the problems, not practical.
