Iran has the capability to evade US air defenses there. So why is the US government risking US servicemen by keeping them there? Answer: the US government doesn't care about its servicemen

[ruthhunt]

They have been briefed, that's so NOT

[boblowe]

First time I’ve ever heard the president and vice president mentioned together about being briefed. It’s always been the president was briefed

The Iraqi parliament voted a resolution in late 2020, demanding for the American troops to leave the country.
The Iraqi parliament repeated this demand in the following years.
Are we going to respect the legal demand of a sovereign state, or not?
By the way, why our troops continue to stay illegally in Syria ?

What a joke. The president and Vice President have been briefed. LOL

[jackdumas]

Why was the VP briefed? Is she going to start working now?

[jerrypolverino]

What the hell are they there for in the first place?

[TrumpDadday]

I'm disappointed in the lack of leadership in our lame duck president.

[AD-cywx]

WHAT are us personnel doing in Iraq still?!?!

[tommybutler]

There are many countries that start with an "I". I wouldn't go pointing fingers right away...

[TotalState]

Why are they there when Iraq wants them gone?

[Emga]

Wtf are we still doing in Iraq! I thought the banner said "Mission Accomplished".

[nicknick]

Americans don’t want to be there, Iraqis don’t want us there, but since Israel wants us there we are there dying for them. LOL

[bobgregorasz]

I'm not the best at geography but can anyone tell me which state 'Iraq' is in? Praying for our troops though 🫡

The MiddleEast said, “we don’t want you in our lands anymore, GET OUT”

What part of get out don’t you not understand?

Leave them alone. It’s their oil, lands, gas, and natural resources. Not YOURS.

[danielbyrd]

They have them there just for that reason...to defend themselves for starting a fight

[randygraham]

What are U.S. troops doing in Iraq? Maybe they would be safer back home.🤔 It was an illegal invasion and Iraq has asked them to leave. Unwanted "guests" who won't go home.

[avawilliams]

The world has been so peaceful with the biden/kamel regime in charge...

[crystalsirois]

I am so disappointed in the American Government. We need to take care of our own and stop enabling Israel.

[shellysmith]

again...? man the US can't even defend against some rockets
