The United States-led military coalition against Islamic State said on Monday that it was pulling out of Iraq and would be repositioning forces over the next few days and weeks, a letter seen by Reuters showed.
"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.

Fine with me also.
Who is the “Sir” referenced in the beginning of the letter? Who authorized the General to remove his troops? Too many questions.
I have a feeling this is going to be Iranian backed Shia v Sunni.
Fake News
Another fake Reuter’s news story.
I cant wait for what Trump has to say at the next rally!!! The whole world is twisting in the wind.
I do not think this is for real.
Reuters fell for a fake letter.
Defense Secretary denied the report of a pull out.

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?
Fake News and well documented fake news.
Old fake news, remove it.
