BAGHDAD, Jan 6 (Reuters) - The United States-led military coalition against Islamic State said on Monday that it was pulling out of Iraq and would be repositioning forces over the next few days and weeks, a letter seen by Reuters showed.
“Sir, in deference to the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister, CJTF-OIR will be repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement,” read a letter from United States Marine Corps Brigadier General William H. Seely III, the commanding general of Task Force Iraq.
The authenticity of the letter, which was addressed to the Iraqi defence ministry’s Combined Joint Operations Baghdad, was confirmed to Reuters independently by an Iraqi military source.
“We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure,” it said.

I posted a tweet with a video.
And how long did you live in Texas?
Won’t the Dims & Iranians spin this as some big win - that they were able to scare/force Trump from Iraq? A big defeat for USA & Trump?
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
I don’t think they would just pack up and leave just like that.
Repositioning assets ?
Don’t know reliability of this poster ......
Pentagon to begin sending 6 B-52s to Diego Garcia: US official. B-52s will be available for operations against Iran if ordered, the official said. But the deployment does not signal that operations have been ordered. #Iran #Solemani
I think this is fake news about withdrawl.
I think this is fake news about withdrawl.
I have no idea what he has up his sleeve. On the one hand, I'm glad he is leaving. On the other, it would seem like the Iranians & Dims will see this as some great win for Iran - they were able to force Trump out, they defeated the USA.
Seems like there would be a power vacuum in the area, but WTH do I know???
I am baffled, but I'm sure he has some plan that will be revealed.
Could be fake info to entrap a leaker.
Wanted to ask for prayer. I had to call 911 this morning. Took a ride in the ambulance. Am in ER waiting for test results. Both sons and sister here with me. Checking out my heart but everything is complicated with all my other issues. Anyway, I know the Trump Train has good prayer warriors and I could use them all. Thank you.
Guess time will tell but I just can’t see that we would pick up and leave on the basis of that unbinding resolution.
Seems pretty flimsy to me.
I know Trump wants us out but not if it looks like a win for Iran.
Weston, my prayers are already being sent your way.
May the good Lord bless you and your doctors and you will be find out what is wrong and can work to fix it.
Prayers up. Stay strong. You will be fine.
Pres Trump doesn’t want war. Neither do I. Neither do you or Pres Rouhani.
Soleimani wanted war. He was working to spark it with increasing frequency & intensity.
Soleimani overestimated his survivability. Do not overestimate Iran’s.
This is a good time to talk. #StopAWar https://t.co/9OPepkercf— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) January 5, 2020
Beautiful tulips. Spring is right around the corner and down the street a few blocks.
NEW: 100s of US-led forces are being moved out of a base in Baghdad’s Green Zone to elsewhere in Iraq, such as Taji base, & to Kuwait (but still in theatre of ops), a coalition source says, explaining letter below👇. It’s to “thin out” troops in Baghdad. “We’re not leaving Iraq” pic.twitter.com/dZiguFwL2G— Deborah Haynes (@haynesdeborah) January 6, 2020
