Obama's decision to leave Iraq in 2011 led to catastrophe
As I read your recent article "Iran reaps gains of war in Iraq" (April 1), my mind swiftly swept back to Oct. 22, 2011, when The Sun published another report under the headline "Obama: Troops out of Iraq by Dec. 31." I still have my copy of that edition...
