BREAKING: Iraq parliament votes to expel US military
Associated Press ^ | 01/05/2019

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.

You forgot to add: ...and get rid of the ones that are here...immediately. That includes Omar an Talib!

I have already acknowledged that I was wrong. Thanks.

Islam is the problem and cannot be reformed.

We should not allow another muslim into the USA.

Agreed. The very existence of islam is antithetical to a constitutional republic. I would deport every single one living in the US and then ban them from ever entering the country.

I would rather kill the terrorists there than here.


Meanwhile, while we have been adventuring in the sand box the terrorist Democrats have seized power in Virginia. Who would have thought two decades ago VA would be a gun grabbing blue state?

"De-Baathification" we called it. --another genius move from the Bush Administration.

It was modeled on De-Nazification after WWII.

So...what’s your plan to deal with islam?

It is a cult of death begotten by a pederast, child rapist, mass murdering megalomaniac thief. He is, their “perfect” human.

There is no reforming it.

We have two choices: destroy it, or it destroys us. There is no third way of getting along with them. They will not stop, ever.

It is unfortunate to have to make such choices, but which of the undesirable choices do you choose?

If it’s the first then it must be done down to the very last of them. If it is the second, you will spend your life on your knees if they let you live.

Cut off foreign aid.

Bomb anything that America has paid to build.

Pack up and leave.

Send them a bill for what they owe.

Put them on the travel ban list.

Transfer all of those good warriors to work for ICE and start shipping them back from where they came.

So, is the 80 million dollar bounty on Trump being offered by the Iranians supposed to be paid in multiple currencies?

This will get interesting.

Watch who objects.

Those are the people on Iraq payola.

“The USA won’t be leaving Iraq anytime soon.”

Yep, our military commanders who claim they want peace never seem to find war they didn’t like.

They will talk our politicians into staying somehow.

At this point, what difference does it make. Trump already sliced General Salami. Leave Iraq? Great. Kurds and Sunnis are welcome to whatever munitions get...ahem...”left behind,” along with any intelligence that might interest them.

That snappy bit of rhetoric was cooked up by Schrub’s administration.

The more you kill over there the more of them you generate.

The so-called war on terror is never-ending and has led to massive domestic spying on all of us. This “national security” above all else is misguided.

The solution is to disengage from the muslim world completely. Those here are deported. No mosques built here. Those already built are razed. No visas to anyone muslim. No flights to or from muslin countries allowed.

This is how you solve the problem. Not by killing more of them. If they attack us here, we inflict 10X the destruction on their country by aerial assault and missiles. Then we leave.

“I certainly hope we don’t send them a penny of foreign aid.”

If by “them” you mean Shiites kissing up to Iran, let them ask their new sugar daddy. If you mean Sunni, Shiite, etc., being hassled by the aforesaid kiss-ups, well, why not. Pick the side you like. Give them what they need to fight the side you don’t like. Sit back and enjoy the popcorn.

islam is a menace to the world and should be destroyed, down to the last screaming child. Every last one of them. Every vestige of it should be turned radioactive for the next 10,000 years.

Should be chopped into a billion pieces. And then, each one of those pieces ground to individual atoms. They could still be a problem though...
