Everything the US does in the Middle East is creating more risk for Americans, not less. Now we see the Iraqi parliament wants US troops out. Who couldn’t see that coming? So, does the US force the issue and stay, pretending that they really want us, or do we go? The law of unintended consequences is in full display.
We dont need to stay. No net negative for us. Let the Iraqis turn the place into an outlet mall.
Our hit on that guy was because of his past attacks on our people, not for the glory of Iraq.
