Simple solution: PULL THEM OUT — NOW!!!
Send in as much drone and manned air cover to “sanitize” the area around the rescue sites to get them out safely.
Yes but even at that the US assets in the Gulf would have to be beefed up quickly and significantly and a clear statement from the POTUS to the effect that for ‘the time being’ we are reducing our physical footprint. Even given that very unlikely set of circumstances this would be a no=sh-t big deal. I have been on the log side of smaller such NEO operations and they require a lot of equipment men and willingness to drop everything and do what ever has to be done. I don't see the military or political leadership stepping up to that sort of very high visibility challenge as well as the Mahdi and his cronies having to swallow the humiliation of conducting a mass evacuation after he made a big deal before the last election of declaring victory in Iraq. Instead I really do fear a general collapse with the US doing a stumbling screwed up evacuation when the hour of decision has already gone by. If you have people in Iraq pray for them. Prayer looks to be more efficacious than this hollow fraud and his regime of empty suits and morally compromised slime.
Bring back the Draft, institute a War Tax, and let’s get it done. Anybody who doesn’t want those two things doesn’t really want the U.S. to go back.
