Speaking to Pompeo, Abdul-Mahdi stopped short of requesting an immediate withdrawal and appeared to give the U.S. time to draw up a strategy and timeline for departure. Still, the comments suggested he was standing by the push for the American forces to go despite recent signals toward de-escalation between Tehran and Washington after Iran retaliated for Soleimani’s death with a barrage of missiles that hit two Iraqi bases where U.S. troops are based but caused no casualties.

I say I agree with the Iraqi PM. Trump has been thinking of withdrawing our troops for some time.

NOW, is a good time to start planning for it.

Let them handle their own affairs.

And if ISIS returns, tough duck for them. Let them learn to fight.

Sheeeyit. We can be out of town in 24 hours, bro.

or I’ll come back her and kill every last one of you sons of bitches

Sorry about the little mess we left on the road by the airport.

Iraqi PM tells US to start working on troop withdrawal plan

I’m perfectly okay with this. Pull them out. Out of Iraq, out of Afghanistan, out of every ungrateful sh*thole on earth...

Germany included.

[ryderann]

Sure hope we destroy EVERYTHING we leave behind. Otherwise, our enemies will be claiming it.

“. . . to prepare a mechanism to carry out the parliament’s resolution regarding the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq,”

Does that include the Iranian Quds and Revolutionary Guard?

[Grampa Dave]

We could be out by Ground Hog Day:

Groundhog Day falls on February 2 in the United States!

That guy is in Iran’s pocket

President Trump said before that he would want reimbursement for our expensive air base there. That would be nice. We blew a lot of money there with no compensation.

[Renkluaf]

No problemo!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump likely knew this would happen. Now he has an excuse to leave without the neocons screaming bloody murder.

Trump tells Abdul-Mahdi to pound salt.

[a fool in paradise]

Shut the bases clear the land.

Leave nothing.

[Moonlighter]

Did he tell Mahd he'd have more flexibility after the election?😁

[BusterDog]

Tell him to pucker up in preparation to kiss the Ayatollah’s ass.

[Revel]

If Trump does leave then he needs to go scorched earth on the base on his way out. leave nothing standing or usable.

[kabar]

Abdul-Mahdi is an Iranian puppet. The Shi’a want the US out while the Sunnis and Kurds want us to stay. The Iraqis are setting themselves up for a civil war.

[Gene Eric]

It’s all about Iran averting a revolution
