Yeah, what the hell does he know?

“I remind everybody that us leaving at the end of 2011 was negotiated in 2008 by the Bush administration."
"U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno said on Wednesday that Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was wrong to blame the Obama administration for the current instability in Iraq. Ahead of his official retirement on Friday, Odierno, the former highest-ranking officer in Iraq and one of the architects of the 2007 troop surge there, sought to set the record straight. “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."

Who are you going to believe, another guy named named Bush or a four-star general who happens to be the U.S. Army's Chief of Staff?
