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.

[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? ]
An occupation force is one that stays despite laws being passed to expel that force. The passage of actual laws would involve the Iraqi military going into battle to evict our guys there. That is not what is happening here. It’s basically a statement of displeasure. We had plenty of those before Obama withdrew the entire force, then had to jump back in to prevent ISIS from overrunning the country. Even the Iranians aren’t confident they can hold ISIS back in Iraq. That’s why we’re still 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.

Lawmakers voted Sunday in favor of a resolution that calls for ending foreign military presence in the country.Does that include Iranian Generals? President Trump already took care of that for you.

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.

Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. She made sure her friends built it. Im sure she got a pocket full of kick backs.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. Lets get the h out. Theyve made their choice.

The resolution was backed by most Shiite members of parliament, who hold a majority of seats. Read that: IRANIANS.
