Getting a sore neck from being whipped one way and then the other

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7860735/Letter-telling-Iraq-troop-pullout-Arabic-version-despite-Pentagon-calling-draft.html

U.S. Army appeared to already have Arabic TRANSLATION of ‘draft’ letter that warned of U.S. withdrawal from Iraq—but Pentagon aide told Congress it was all ‘fake ... active disinformation’ from America’s enemies

General in charge of U.S. coalition forces in Iraq told military counterpart in a letter to prepare for helicopter flights as troops pull up stakes

Defense secretary told reporters that ‘there’s been no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq, period’

Joint chiefs chairman confessed the letter was a ‘draft’ released by ‘mistake’

It would be ordinary to have a contingency plan that included an advisory letter to a host country, but a copy surfaced overnight that was translated into Arabic

That suggests it was finalized language, not a draft

Before officials briefed journalists, a Pentagon aide told a congressional committee that the letter was likely ‘a fake’ planted as disinformation

Donald Trump said Sunday that he would only withdraw troops if Iraq paid the U.S. for building and maintaining the main air base the coalition uses

He also threatened greater sanctions than those he has imposed on Iran

Iraq’s parliament had passed a resolution, which is nonbinding, urging the government to evict American troops

That was in response to Trump green-lighting a drone attack on an infamous Iranian military leader while he was in Baghdad, in Iraqi soil

So the press for censorship in Facebook is beginning to be effective. They’ve chosen an area that WOULD be non-controversial IF the people judging it were even-handed, which we’ve learned to be skeptical of. But would it be of use to have a chyron on the bottom of such videos that say “CREATED WITH AI VIDEO TECHNOLOGY”?

Facebook BANS deepfake videos to stop the flow of misinformation in the run-up to the 2020 US election - but doctored Nancy Pelosi video may not qualify

hummmm sounds like something Our President would instruct to have happen, keep them guessing, he’s got more up his sleeve...

Defense secretary told reporters that ‘there’s been no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq, period’

Our President: Did you get that Pentagon ‘fake news’ out yet? okay well drop this one now...

Before officials briefed journalists, a Pentagon aide told a congressional committee that the letter was likely ‘a fake’ planted as disinformation

...that’s to keep our enemies guessing what Our President is really going to do...(see how Our President controls what is happening not some Nazi news idiot)…

Donald Trump said Sunday that he would only withdraw troops if Iraq paid the U.S. for building and maintaining the main air base the coalition uses

...yep, and then Our President appears and out of his mouth he says in so many words: “You think we are leaving without you paying billions of dollars back to us and leaving all our stuff there? Your crazy, we leave, we take it all and you can handle whatever you want to”...

I just love Our President...

I was wondering why Soleimani’s daughter was a US citizen.
