Romney attacks Obama over US troop withdrawal from Iraq

US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has criticised President Barack Obama over the withdrawal of the last US troops from Iraq.

He called the withdrawal "precipitous" and said the president should have left some US forces behind.

Mr Romney has secured the backing of senior Republican Bob Dole, a former senator and presidential candidate. snip

"I think we're going to find that this president, by not putting in place a status-of-forces agreement with the Iraqi leadership, has pulled our troops out in a precipitous way and we should have left 10-, 20-, 30,000 personnel there to help transition to the Iraqis' own military capabilities," Mr Romney said.
