So much for the $1 Bn compound/embassy.

Well, I think that is what most people want.

This must chaff the mutinous US 4-stars no end. The interruption of the continued cash flow to the deep state connected support service contractors will impact their future cushy corporate board of directors positions. There is a contract here - keep the cash flowing now for your reward later.

We have friends in Iraq who depend on us. Real deep loyal abiding friends, you know, like KBR. It's now official military doctrine. [redacted sound of AJ spitting up the bitter bile in his mouth].

It'll make a nice shopping mall I guess.

Lindsey Graham is going to be so mad.

I read your comment and am struck by how prescient Eisenhower was. No doubt he had first-hand knowledge of how many of his fellow Generals were self-serving money-grubbing bastards.

My Son was scheduled to go back for a 4th tour - he was not looking forward to returning to the Iraq - Kuwait part of the world. He and his friends are very happy to be here in the US and so are their families.

“self-serving money-grubbing bastards”

SS-MGB ?

reads like a special division of the military for all those corrupt base-tards.

[angcat]

Bring them all home!

[Blood of Tyrants]

And leave Afghanistan, too.

Do you consider the US Embassy in Iraq to be a military base?

Otherwise, its hard to see how the embassy is an issue.

So Now we have Proof why all the Trump appointed/fired generales have recently opened their pie holes. Also Esper and Miiley joined in with their open defiance.

Hi.

Don’t care which sandbox, leave.

Dust off and nuke both shitholes from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

The US embassy in Iraq was surrounded by military compounds. I don’t know status as of today.

[Red Badger]

We should leave the entire Middle East [except for Israel] to their own devices..................

[Buckeye McFrog]

Embassies are considered sovereign territory of the nation they represent.

It is highly doubtful that any country would grant this status to the military base of a foreign power, so most likely the embassy and military bases are somehow separate.
