BEIRUT (AP) The latest on U.S.-Iran tensions (all times local):
4:45 p.m.
Iraqs 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 resolutions 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.

The answer to islam is to have islam eat itself. It is what Donald Rumsfeld looked to do in the ‘70s as Defense Secretary and lead to that famous picture with Saddam Hussein. Eventually, this lead to an Iraq/Iran war and limited islams expansion. Taking out Saddam was very short sited as he personally helped to limited islams expansion through his iron fist rule in Iraq.

For once, I agree with them. Not one more US life is worth their sorry country.
Liberal democracy imposed at gun-point. GWB was a genius.
Good luck with that.
They think they’re sovereign. Ha.
This is the ONE simple way to get the US troops out of Iraq and not make Iraqi leadership appear to be doing something foolish, thus saving face. AND it makes the US look like an all outside force opposing Iranian moves in the area instead of US/Iraq facing down Iran together..
It will be Iraq standing on its own feet, the US as outside broker and force and Iran as the bad guys.
Sounds like a Trumpian plan in motion here.
I submit that many people were complacent. The libs got out and voted that Tuesday in November...it was a record turnout propelled by hatred of Trump. The gun owners were lazy and complacent.
It's a good lesson to never skip voting.
Bush Derangement Syndrome is as alive as Trump DS.
They are all terrorists over there or at a minimum support their killing, which is why women and children bang pans and pass out candy when infidels are killed.
The more you kill over there the more of them you generate is BS to the millionth degree. That snappy bit of rhetoric was cooked up by far leftists to defeat and deflate the American public. Sorry you have joined their cause.
And that laughable bit of disengaging, deporting all Muslims, no flights, no mosques is absolute flights of delusional fancy, something you know will never never never never happen. You sound kind of racist to me.
By the way, in case you haven't heard, Muslims now have approval to build a mosque near the World Trade Tower as a victory marker for their religion and Muhammad is the 10th most popular boy name in the US
Please don’t confuse the yahoos here with logic...they can’t handle it.
Lurk - shame on you. You forgot to add to your post about Obama not being a natural born citizen. You’re getting soft.
Did Trump just bring our actions in Iraq to an end?
Part of me wonders if we shouldn’t pull all of our assets out the $hithole Middle East, and let them fight amongst themselves until they all kill each other.
Are you insisting that he is?
Yours is the second logical post on this thread. Thanks for the lesson - I hope it helps.
Time to get out of the Sandbox . On the way out,break every damn bit of infrastructure we built. Leave it broken beyond repair.
I agree with that.
It should not be a “peaceful” exit.
What is it called...’scorched earth’ or something like that?
We should not allow another muslim into the USA.
.....................................
And we should expel every Muslim that is already here.
And our billion dollar embassy.
.................................
That’s in the Green Zone isn’t it?
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.
................................
Absolutely. And thank God there are still people in this world with common sense. Get them out of the U.S., and at the slightest hostile provocation, kill the bast*rds.
