Who do you think Iraq's PM will side with?
Or just offer to blow them all like you're doing now.

I think they will come up with a timeline for troop exit, about like they have now.
Exiting would be the best bet anyhow, and this way it appears to give the Iraqis some sovereignty instead of the appearance of being abandoned. It also gives the Trump administration plausible deniability for leaving Iraq. "we didn't abandon them, we were told to leave. Hey, it's a sovereign nation, they have that right".
-Trump pulls troops from Iraq like he promised
- Gets credit for killing Soleimani
- Skirts blame for whatever happens in Iraq afterward (at least through November).
This seems like the best case scenario for Trump, so I'd say the PM will not buck the system.
We have had many chances to get this guy.thinking someone just saw this guy in the airport
The timing is suspect given our affairs at home.
Just like Afghanistan.
His own party will throw a fit and we won’t leave.
Or another false flag attack on US ally/assets will happen preventing Trump from removing troops. Remember, everytime Trumps says he's pulling xxx troops from xxx country the opposite happens. The Zionists don't want peace in the middle east.

Pelosi maybe thinks she's crippling the POTUS by Bogarting the articles of impeachment and refusing to send to the Senate, obviously she's wrong.
It's time to bring the troops back home--war in the ME is pointless--things there won't change because they don't want change--ME muslims don't know anything else but oppression--once the US leaves Iran will jump in...fill in the gaps and rape that country for all its wealth and US influence in the region will go as the UK in the Sudan
Then just like Hezbollah and Hamas.
Funded by the Islamic fringe haters like yourself.
At that point we'd be illegally occupying a sovereign nation.
How long will DMC keep up his Baghdad Bob act?
Is that like a law Trump must follow?
Iraq is basically a testing ground for new ordinance. In 10 years or less we'll be bombing them again in some capacity.
So now the game has changed?
Not when they are sending their swift boats to take US citizens.
Really... Now the game has changed, right now.
On Thursday – the day before the attack that killed Soleimani - U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned that the United States might have to take preemptive action to protect American lives from expected attacks by Iran-backed militias.
“The game has changed,” he said.
Now you’ve gone and done it....
I have no idea. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to set up a government and then violate the sovereignty of that government. If leaving would make Iran think the death has been avenged, it could be killing two birds with one stone.
But given the strategic nature of being there, I cannot see any administration relinquishing that willingly.
There's always a moment when the game changes. When would Trump not have been under some kind of investigation during his term? Give me an example.
I just told you why. Discuss that with the red team who will back him on anything suspect, especially an international conflict. ‘Let’s get the Iraqis back to the table and discuss this decision still allowing the US to....’ Thanks red and some blue team members. Schumer does not want us out.
When was Trump under impeachment?
These things have changed:
ST Trumpettes need to spin that their Dear Leader planned all of this with muh 3D chess.
Get to it.
Hezbolla leader instructed not to touch american covilians but americans in uniform are fair game
Iraqi resistance will not let a single US soldier stay in Iraq after the killing of the Iranian Quds force commander, Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Sunday.
The Hezbollah leader, however, warned against harming any American civilians, as such acts will only play into the hands of US President Donald Trump, adding that every US military asset and serviceman in the region is fair game.

DMC, the Iraqi parliament are the Iraqi ppl. the iraqi ppl do not want USA so USA will have to leave
will they take their sweet time? sure. but they already suspended all operations. the US has too few soldiers to sustain their presence without Iraqi guarantee of security. american generals would be madmen to force them to stay
sure american politicians are playing this off but they will have to leave no question about it
Impeachment
Both sides now waiting and bargaining for the best time for the trial and the rules.
Its pretty simple.
You don’t believe domestic politics has anything to do with our actions.
I think it might.
Its not that hard.
Come on. Trump saw the images of the US embassy kerfuffle on Fox News and chose the nuclear option out of embarrassment and fear of criticism about doing nothing.
This isn't difficult to figure out. Even DMC knows he's an impulsive ball of emo.
"Anything to do with" != "caused by"
Cause vs correlation. Sure the political environment in the US would have an effect on decisions made at the top. The same is true for both sides. If Obama hit this guy instead, the left would be hailing it as a victory. Let's not pretend this isn't clearly divided down party lines. Right and wrong doesn't favor party lines.
While there's a real tension about escalation with Iran, there's also a palpable fear from the left that Trump might gain in the polls due to this strike. They have to downplay it as a political move. That's a dangerous game, but we've seen these politicians have no boundaries.
Are you hailing this as a victory?
