BREAKING: Iraqi Parliament votes to expel U.S. troops from the country, after airstrike that killed top Iranian military leader Iran-backed militias in Iraq demanded lawmakers attend a session of parliament to vote on the possible expulsion of U.S. troops from the country, after the killing of an Iranian general there put the country at the center of an escalating conflict between its two most important allies. Inside the parliament hall Sunday, lawmakers chanted, “America out! Baghdad remains free!” The vote poses a pivotal test to an American troop presence that has been instrumental in the defeat of Islamic State, even as powerful Iranian-backed factions have come to dominate the Iraqi government. One of those militias, Kataib Hezbollah, threatened lawmakers who failed to show up at the session or vote in favor of a law to evict U.S. forces, branding them “traitors.”....

Fine, let’s leave.
Islam is the problem.
Then we should leave.
Sounds good to me.
Parliament votes to leave them alone to kill each other. They have my vote
...and take our embassy with us.
A massive, empty U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad, constructed at a cost of more than a billion dollars, will be a testament to the ineptitude and malfeasance of a retarded baboon named George W. Bush. MAGA 2020.
Fine, let’s leave our troops and Money.
How many Americans died in that god forsaken country? Thanks George. Obongo did nothing as Iran filled the Iraqi Government with their people. Actually he helped it happen. Not to mention he gave Iran warning when Israel was about to take out Salami.
Looks like Trump will keep Obama’s promise after all...
You can't expel us, we're leaving.
And taking our money with us.
Wait, what?
A massive, empty U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad, constructed at a cost of more than a billion dollars,
Trump stopped the payments.
Now remember, we pay our welfare recipients NOT TO RIOT.
+1
Maybe we should leave and say, “See, this is how you do it: votes, not terrorism.” Teachable moment.
We can keep our embassy there, the vote was to expel US military.
No loss of a billion.
I'm sure the Iraqis will find some use for it. At a billion bucks, I'll bet it's pretty nice!
Nope, just like the U.S Senate Iraqi politicians are great with non binding political show votes. The world went crazy when Trump pulled 50 troops from Syria, this isn’t happening anytime soon
Iraq owes the US $2 trillion to be paid with their oil sales.
Leave American troops at the US Embassy in Baghdad.
Supply and arm the rebels in Iran and have the Iranian People oust the awful regime in Tehran.
When the Iranian people take back their country, cut them in on the bill owed by Iraq to the US.
Sit back and watch the fireworks.
Well, that's the truth; however, one might add a few more descriptive adjectives to call out that alcohol-addled, shit-for-brains moron who managed to screw up the entire middle-east, help flush our economy down the toilet and leave us with Obama in the bowl.
