BEIRUT (AP) — The latest on U.S.-Iran tensions (all times local):
4:45 p.m.
Iraq’s parliament has voted to expel the U.S. military from the country.
Lawmakers voted Sunday in favor of a resolution that calls for ending foreign military presence in the country. The resolution’s main aim is to get the U.S. to withdraw some 5,000 U.S. troops present in different parts of Iraq.
The vote comes two days after a U.S. airstrike killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani inside Iraq, dramatically increasing regional tensions.
The Iraqi resolution specifically calls for ending an agreement in which Washington sent troops to Iraq more than four years ago to help in the fight against the Islamic State group.
The resolution was backed by most Shiite members of parliament, who hold a majority of seats.
Many Sunni and Kurdish legislators did not show up for the session, apparently because they oppose abolishing the deal.

I know he made a killing hard covering buildings in Iraq during the middle of the last decade.
Why the heck did we put a billion dollar embassy in that hell hole? Brilliant idea Deep State?
George Bush did as soon as he went into Iraq, I still can’t figure out why or who is in there.
So the Iraqis want Persia to rule them again?
People who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Cue the “Well, bye” guy.
[Binding or non-binding how do we ignore it? Do we say, “Tough. We’re staying?” How does that not look like it’s an occupation force? If we don’t have the support of the government then what’s the point in being there? ]
If ISIS wins in the Middle East, everyone there will join up or die. And they will join up - that’s more or less the way Islam originally spread. 1% die. 99% join the winners. That’s why we need to stick around. And the Shiite Arabs need us, if they’re to remain Shiites. Because they can’t fight worth a damn. That’s why this is a resolution and not a law. Because they don’t want a rerun of ISIS overrunning vast regions of the country again. The Shiites are bastards, but they’re sorta, kinda our bastards, at least in comparison to ISIS.
Fine. Here’s our business card in case you ever need to get a hold of us.
The Mullah’s cut of US construction dollars ain’t small taters either.
Does that include Iranian Generals? President Trump already took care of that for you.
Ha, suddenly the Rats will tell us we NEED to be in Iraq!
HOORAY Chief and armed forces. Find the INDIVIDUALS responsible for EVIL. Eliminate said individuals. Now...about those domestic, evil individuals...
Our dhimmis are good dhimmis. Why is Malik Nidal Hasan still alive?

Beautiful architecture, BTW
Qasem is still dead.
This is actually good.
Now it does not appear we are “abandoning” an ally and we have no obligation to provide for any more aid.
I say go for it.
Hey Europe, want us out of Europe, just ask.
Of course it is too good to be true.
Thinking of killing children because of their parents’ beliefs is so disgusting. What leads humans to come around to these nazi thoughts? I am truly sickened by your post.
Exactly!
This is an opportunity. Take it!
let them live on their own ‘abundance’.
No, this was a Republican neocon project.:
"With construction beginning in mid-2005, the original target completion date was September 2007."
"In May 2008, US diplomats began moving into the embassy. The embassy formally opened over a year behind schedule in January 2009 with a staff of over 16,000 people, mostly contractors, but including 2,000 diplomats."
Exactly. Let’s get the h out. They’ve made their choice.
