Aren't you glad you supported George W. Bush and the war he started and Obama is ending? Nice call, CC.

Iraq, the US's model democracy sides with Assad regime
And what is the posture of the Iraqi regime toward the Arab Spring, specifically next door in Syria, which is currently the hottest front line in the confrontation between freedom and authoritarianism? Maliki is maintaining a distinctively friendly posture toward the Assad regime, while that regime is gunning down protestors in Syrian cities. He has urged the protestors not to “sabotage” the regime and has recently hosted an official Syrian delegation. The would-be lead domino, far from inspiring freedom in a neighboring country, is on the side opposing freedom.

Thats actually a good answer if you truly believe it, blue text notwithstanding.
Bush ended it. All BHO did was pull out all the troops just in time for an election bump.
The reality here to me says this is just a function of fervent religion. The Middle East represents religion at its most righteous.
Lines are drawn even among common believers. Everyone must think like you, especially as it pertains to the questions around death and the hereafter.
Beyond that point...
Maliki, I imagine, has had to reach out to its neighbors as new players in the grand game, all the while knowing the US's presence was not absolute. It would and has ended ('cept for that big ol' embassy) with Maliki being the voice of Iraq wanting just that.
In order to earn credibility among that political geography, in my estimation, a nation must choose a side so to speak. I am quite sure Iraq's neighbors want the US out of the region, the quicker the better,
