U.S. Army Chief Of Staff Corrects Jeb Bush: Your Brother Negotiated The Iraq Exit

U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno, the former highest-ranking officer in Iraq and one of the architects of the 2007 troop surge there, recently took time in a speech Wednesday to correct GOP hopeful Jeb Bush, who has “blamed” the current situation in the Middle East on President Obama due to the military drawdown in Irag in 2011.

“I remind everybody that us leaving at the end of 2011 was negotiated in 2008 by the Bush administration. That was always the plan, we had promised them that we would respect their sovereignty,” Odierno said during his final press conference at the Pentagon.
