That does not change the fact that Obama was advocating leaving the battlefield at the time Al Quaeda was there. Our withdrawal at that time would have meant US defeat and Al Quaeda victory.

Crap. The only reason AQ got any popular support in Iraq was because we were there. When they went too far blowing up Sunnis, and we started paying for the awakening, the Iraqi's (not us) got rid of them.

And again they wouldn't have been there if Bush hadn't invaded the wrong country.

Why? The same reason al Qaida failed in Iraq would have still been present.
