The U.S. State Department has ordered "non-emergency U.S. government employees" to leave its embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in Erbil.
"The U.S. government's ability to provide routine and emergency services to U.S. citizens in Iraq is extremely limited," the department said in statement early Wednesday.
It has also warned citizens about traveling to Iraq. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Sunday tweeted that it was advising "all U.S. citizens of heightened tensions in Iraq and the requirement to remain vigilant."

The primary US Intelligence Agency in Iraq is DIA. They were not a part of the whole “Russian Collusion” thing, The CG got a case of the “A**” when they listed all 17 agencies as providing intel for it.
You can bet the DIA people on the ground are not blowing smoke, they have to live with whatever happens right there. Being on the X really makes you look twice at your assumptions.
Another fake tough guy with other American Kids’ blood.
Doesn’t shock me.
More than a few around here.
Punctuation is your friend...
With that fire at the gas refinery in Texas a couple of weeks ago sent gas prices jumping around here 20 cents or so, this will send it over $3.00 bucks again before long. First shot fired in the Gulf will send oil prices up so high we will need loans to buy gas. That is all the oil people are waiting for to slam prices back up to near $4.00 around here in Alabama. I know other states are in worse shape than us.
In Northern Nevada we are at $3.65 and have been since the fire. I expect closer to $4 for the Summer driving season.
The blood are on the hands of Iranians and their proxies who have not only killed American military and intelligence personnel but also that have Israel.
Not too mention Israeli citizens have also been killed by these scum through terrorist attacks in and around Israel but also around the world aboard it’s amazing how not so long ago the forum was on Obama, for being too soft on Iran but now we’re standing up to them suddenly now it’s a big problem I’m perhaps Trump’s biggest critics here on FR as well I am very critical of Bolton but on this I stand with Trump fully.
You can troll me all you want too about punctuation you can also drone on and on to me about about the Neocons, the military industrial complex, Rothschild bankers,the CFR, the illuminati and NWO.
But it doesn’t change the very fact about the truth and the cold harsh reality that the Iranians are Islamic fascist who are completely bent on regional donmaince in the Middle East who are also a full threat to not only our nation but also our most strategic allies and partners including the Jewish Nation of Israel.
That the CG got a case of the a— is a good thing.
If the past 30 years have taught me anything it is that the CIA, FBI, and military intelligence cannot be trusted. They serve their globalist and banking masters. This is a conflict we should sit out. Provide Israel with all the support they need and let the Sunni and Shiite sects kill each other.
Agree 90%. I would be supportive of bombing the crap out of Iran’s nuclear facilities. But no ground troops.
Can you explain how Iran is a threat to ‘our’ nation?
Yep, they are pulling crap out of their rear ends, and going straight to the Democrat playbook of screaming racism or anti-Semitism the moment there is resistance to their interventionist garbage, or any other garbage they propose.
The Neocons call themselves neoconservatives, have a defined worldview, and have a modus operandi. We can read their magazines (like the old Weekly Standard rag) to see how they think
speaking of DU and burn pits as a legacy, here’s another one: in 1960 the avg livespan in the ME was around 45. Western technology - medicine, investment, education and yes, arms and blood - has increased that lifespan to around 73, in less than 50 years. They’re welcome.
Iran and China
And Russian missilery. Don’t tell anyone... you’ll cue the media that we know
I’m on the fence with this. However I will say that had this been WWII and the Japanese had continued a proxy war by funding Kamikaze pilots into US ships and interests we’d have laid waste to their lands and people.
Why it is ok for Iran to fund terrorist organizations to target soldiers and US interests has escaped me.
Thank you for the injection of some sanity - I didn’t know where to start on the idiots who always assume the worst...even with President trump at the helm....no wonder we never seem to have any lasting victories towards conservatism/constitutionalism...too many “on our side” are absolute fools.
Except there is no CG of DIA. The position is Director. Most of the people that work there are civilians.
