why do we still have military personnel in Iraq?

[AndrewShepherdODAS]

Simple answer, leave. They dont want you there, we dont want our soldiers there and the soldiers dont want to be there.

[esashaik]

Didn't Iraq tell the US to leave their country?

[nochepatada]

Has Iraq asks for American military presence, or are they being occupied by an outside force?

[WaissuddinAli]

Leave their land, it is as simple as that

[pm]

I was deployed to that base twice. The question is were the bases air defenses overwhelmed?

[davidpaglia]

Billions of dollars raining down on our troops.

[huckleberryharrison]

Well, yeah. It's a military base in someone elses country.

[pluffio]

US personnel probably wouldn’t be injured in Iraq if we didn’t have US personnel in Iraq

[razer]

what the hell is the us military doing there? throwing flowers?

[peni]

Why is there a US base in Iraq? The Iraqi gov. asked multiple times for the United States to leave.
Furhter more this is not the 1st time US blamed Iran for rocket attack, I remeber attack on Japanese oil tanker. The owner of that tanker said ''we have cameras from our cameras, we know they didn't come from Iran.'

[tsmx]

Yeah, uh, that’s what happens when a foreign invading army comes to a territory it has no right to be in, thousands of miles away from its soil. You know, the same thing you would do if The Chinese or Russians had military bases on American soil. Or is only America allowed to do it?

[tommcfadden]

Possibly? Apparently? Not very reliable reporting.

[Hardworkandrealestateprofits]

Send VP Harris over there she will talk the extremists into offing themselves.

[originalbushstick]

I thought we left there, according to this administration????

[palmharbor]

We have 300 foreign bases. China has 2. Russia 1. Who are the aggressors?

[kbram]

Put usa tax payer aid on the voting ballot this year and let’s see what’s happens

[pagan]

Iraq has been telling the US to get out. Why are we still there?

[Youba]

We should always protect our Troops. And respond.

[albertnewschannel]

Biden's response will be: Don't, don't, don't
