Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Iraqi officials that U.S. intelligence showed Iran-backed militias moved missiles near bases housing American forces.
Pompeo made the disclosure to Iraq’s top brass during his surprise visit earlier this month, Reuters reported. The revelation comes just hours after all non-emergency personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq was ordered to leave the country.
He asked the military officials to keep the Shi’ite militias in control as they are expanding their presence in the country and now are part of the country’s security apparatus. The top diplomat warned that otherwise, the U.S. would have to use force to tackle the security threats.

#BREAKING US withdrawal of diplomats from Iraq due to “imminent” Iran-linked threat, officials say
1:16 PM · May 15, 2019
One of the biggest supporters of Obama’s Iran deal was Boeing. That company makes a fortune selling jets to the state-run airlines in Islamic dumps all over the world.
“Now, Saudis want us to go to war against their enemy Iran. Sure hope Trump is smart enough not to do so”
Is the nation responsible for 700 US deaths due to IEDs in Iraq our enemy?
Is the crazy nation which seeks nukes and is SWORN to our complete destruction our enemy?
“What Iran wants is nukes. Why? Because they want to dominate Islam politically and religiously.”
No, they want them for one reason. They saw what happened to Saddam and Khaddafy. Nukes make you invasion proof. We would never attack a nuclear armed country lightly.
You just need a few and you are much safer from our global regime change jihad.
The more countries we invade, the more small countries want a nuke.

Could you please post the link too.
Thanks.
What are we waiting for?
“Those were not “the Saudis”, those were terrorists who were also against the Saudi government.”
Against the Saudi government that paid their expenses. The Saudi section of the 9/11 report is redacted...still.
“B. Saudi agents.
C. Israeli agents.
D. CIA Deep State agents.”
Those would never attack us.
But Iran would. That was easy.
Is the nation responsible for 700 US deaths due to IEDs in Iraq our enemy?
Saudis: 3000 - plus deaths 911
Iran, fwiw, is the closest ally of the government that we installed in Irsaq. In fact, the president and cabinet who came in dyer we ousted Saddam, had been refugees sheltering in Iran.
I don’t like the Mullahs of Iran, but we were for all intents and purposes fighting for their interests when we took out their enemy, Saddam
Now, we’re being asked to fight for the Saudis’s cause by going to war against Iran. I think we should attend to America’s interests here at home, instead
Sanity...and we will be waiting for a long time.
60+ million Americans saw through that idiocy when they voted in the 2016 election.
Saudis would never attack us?
You forgot 911
The Saudis were NOT involved in the 9-11 attacks. It was the Islamic terrorists who wanted to kill the Saudis too.
imminent” Iran-linked threat,
Shades of Tonkin Gulf
Not to mention, the worst of the fighting in Iraq occurred when the Sunnis (who demand that their 33% should politically dominate the 64% Shia) blew up the Golden Dome shia shrine.
So Saudis are still at the root of almost all of the middle east warfare.
Exactly! Beautifully stated.
The Saudis were NOT involved in the 9-11 attacks. It
All but one of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
for 25 years the State depot and the CIA have called Iran the worst supporter of terrorism of any country. They are developing ICBMs to reach Europe and the US. The just blew up tankers destined to deliver oil to “US Customer” They constantly threaten to destroy Israel and the US.
I say we take them seriously for a change and officially declare war and get busy.
Bush II went to the wrong country IMO
“I REALLY WISH John Bolton was NOT on the Trump team, he never saw a war he didn’t like!!! I believe Trump will NOT put our boys and girls in harms way!!!”
I think Bolton is great. Half the world is scared to death of him. It adds teeth to “all options are on the table.” He won’t pull Trump into a war.
