"Sir, in deference to the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister, CJTF-OIR will be repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement," read a letter from United States Marine Corps Brigadier General William H. Seely III, the commanding general of Task Force Iraq.

Any bets on how long it will be before some group like ISIS is kicking the Iraqi army all over the place and they are begging us to come save them...again... I give it less than a year.

Who is the “Sir” referenced in the beginning of the letter? Who authorized the General to remove his troops? Too many questions.

I do not think this is for real.
Reuters fell for a fake letter.

Reuters saw an UNSIGNED LETTER and assumed it was an actual letter sent to the Iraqi government.

Like would we EVER send such a letter without a signature?

ANd would we send a letter like this between military forces, without an announcement first by the President?
