Here's what Reuters said in their story:
The authenticity of the letter, which was addressed to the Iraqi defence ministry's Combined Joint Operations Baghdad, was confirmed to Reuters independently by an Iraqi military source.

U.S.-led coalition says it will withdraw from Iraq -letter

That source didn't happen to be Baghdad Bob, was it?

Once again the right hand of this administration has no idea what the left hand is thinking.

I’ll bet that the first letter of each sentence, or something like that, will spell out a joke.

Dan Rather may have an answer for you on that one. He produced a really great Bush TANG document back in 2000. One problem though. It was fake. One eagle eyed Freeper spotted the forgery.

The letter was a DRAFT that was pre-written JUST IN CASE the resolution to expel US troops becomes law.

As it stands now, the resolution IS NON-BINDING.

1) It was voted on by a half-empty parliament with no participation from Sunnis and Kurds.

2) The Prime Minister had not signed it.

Our troops should, at a minimum, move to Kurdistan.

I stand corrected.

If its release was not intentional, someone needs to get a ear-burning chewing out for it. If was intentional to goad the Iraqi government into action, then it makes sense. Soleimani's upcoming terror campaign would have gotten several times as many more Iraqis killed than Americans.
