I’m skeptical of this.

That vote that the Iraqi Parliament took was non-binding.

Trump said we weren’t leaving until Iraq paid us for all the billions we poured into their country.

When I lived in California all the limbs kept telling me we went to Iraqi to take their oil. I would reply that I wished we had taken their oil, at least get paid back for all the money we spent. They would shut up.

Just think of the many thousands of lives that would have never been snuffed out and all the trillions of dollars that would not have been wasted on the mideast
if president George H. W. Bush, Secretary of State James Baker and Ambassador April Glaspie had not given Saddam Hussein the green light to invade Kuwait back in 1990.

If that idiotic mistake had never taken place the last 29 years of bloody mideast turmoil would have been avoided and the nations of Iraq and Syria would not have been destroyed,
allowing Iran to move in as the dominant power.

July 25, 1990. Eight days before the August 2, 1990 Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait:

U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - "We have no opinion on your Arab – Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait.
Secretary (of State James) Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960’s,
that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America. (Saddam smiles)
