"Claiming credit" is a pretty unfair accusation, 'Zig - the Troops Agreement - which is the promise he's talking about - made by Bush has been public knowledge for ... years, as has the withdrawal date 12-31-2011, as has the US ongoing negotiations over the past year discussing if a limited number of troops there (Iraq's request, btw).
Geesh, what an unfair attack on Obama. He's just doing what we knew the end would probably be, from the negotiated agreements and ongoing negotiations, months ago.
Just be happy the troops are home.
