Did you notice you can see writing on the letter?

Looks like it is on the backside?

Look towards the bottom and you can see there is writing .

“Iran will own Iraq.”

And will then have to govern it.

Careful what you ask for, you might get it.

The missing elements need to realize that perhaps running away in protest was not the brightest idea. Painfully.

Tweet from journalist Paul Mcleary: 5 minutes after leaving press room at DodD, Gen. Milley turned around and came back in, telling us the letter US sent to Iraqis about withdrawal was a "draft" and it was a "mistake." Wasn't meant to be sent. No US troops are leaving.

Even if we were to leave Iraq, we have plenty of resources to counter Iran when we have to.

it was a "mistake." Wasn't meant to be sent.

If it was actually "sent", that was a HUGE mistake that strains credibility. I have to think this "mistake", whether it was sent or leaked, was somehow intentional. A sort of shot across the bow of Iraqi leadership that we could pull out if they keep cozying up to Iran.

Sounds like a PsyOps signal to the Sunnis and possibly an attempt to identify leakers.
