During an emergency parliamentary session this morning, the Iraqi government just voted to have foreign troops removed from the country.
Interim Iraqi prime minister, Adil Abdul Mahdi, stressed during the session, that while the US government notified the Iraqi military of the planned strike on Soleimani, his government denied Washington permission to continue with the operation.
As RT reports, Mahdi said after the incident that it was clear it was in the interest of both the US and Iraq to end the presence of foreign forces on Iraqi soil.
“Despite the internal and external difficulties that we might face, it remains best for Iraq on principle and practically.”
Still there are plenty more US bases around…

Our founding principles are not reflected in our American “vision” as dictated by today’s federal government. What happens to the soldiers when they are no longer useful? What a waste of blood and treasure to line the rulers’ pockets. Imagine if we went back to the vision of our forefathers concerning defense, education, federal expenditures and public virtue. At least President Trump re-instituted a fairer trade and tariff policy.

We need to exit that region and let it implode back to the stone age as is its nature.
Trump wants Iraq to reimburse the US for the billions it cost for our air base before leaving.
i still believe oil is a draw to that area. Perhaps as Trump said years ago oil will be the demand. The demand and exchange for Americans blood and treasure.
i think there is a problem with this.
