We take your oil fields and carve out 2 more US air bases.

Uh, no. We leave, and don't come back unless attacks on US interests are launched from Iraq.

Stop living in 2003.

We don't NEED their oil fields. Fracking has taken care of THAT problem.

“Forget money deals. You killed the guy great. Now get every American civilian and military out if iraq.”


I agree, I was referring to Trump’s demands to S. Korea, Japan and others not to Iraq.

“Mixed feelings on this one, I would prefer to fight the ragheads on their turf opposite ours.”


If we leave they will be too busy killing eachother to bother us.

We do need their oil fields to keep pressure on both Iran and Iraq. Sell it to the good guys and absolutely destroy the economies of the bad actors.

Iraq doesn’t approve that we killed an Iranian responsible for the death and/or maiming of hundreds of Americans? ESAD.

The issue is that US has some generals responsible for killing many Iraqis. How would you feel if they’d bomb some of them if JFK killing some innocents in process?
Another point is Iraqis are viewing ISIS as a big threat.
This general represented a force fighting ISIS and US military is viewed as an ally and sponsor of ISIS.
That is it.
