The answer as to whether the administration pulled US troops out of Iraq too soon can be found in the events both leading up to the withdrawal and the events after the withdrawal.

Whether or not you agree with the war, the American servicemen were in it to win it. They worked tirelessly and fought valiantly to rout out the terrorists and forge good relations with the people in the areas they secured. The surge worked and our soldiers were winning the peace.

President Obama waved the white flag and turned his back on the Iraqi people by taking away their protection from the terrorists. The people of Iraq have been left bare. This is not to say that the Iraqi government wasn't training to take over the work of the US military, only that their training wasn't finished.

The people of Iraq longed for democracy. They voted in their first free election and were proud to show the ink on their finger in spite of threats to their lives.

President Obama pulled the US troops out of Iraq to keep a promise that he'd made to his liberal base. It was a decision that many predict will come back to bite us. This administration pulled out just before the job was finished. 

The terrorists were given a date to plan for and they took advantage of it. Once the last US soldier crossed into Kuwait all bets were off. The relationships that were built between the soldiers who risked their lives and the people of Iraq were blown to bits hours after their exit. Neighborhoods that had begun to prosper and full marketplaces had been targeted by the terrorists. Bomb after bomb exploded. Within days there was infighting in the government. Chaos has returned to replace the security that our soldiers had worked so hard to achieve. Many innocent people have been murdered since our troops left and sadly, many more will be killed as the network of terrorists claim victory over the USA. The terrorists view the pull-out as a sure sign of President Obama's weakness.

So the answer as to whether or not the Obama Administration pulled the United States military out of Iraq too soon is yes. This has already been proven by the night and day difference in the country since our troops left. It has been proven by the innocent families devastated by all of the horrific terrorist bombings since the troops departed.
