Bubblegum Bitch 18,934 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Iraqi MPs back plan to expel US troops Iraqi MPs have passed a resolution calling for foreign troops to leave the country after the US killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike at Baghdad airport last week. Parliament in Baghdad also called for a ban on foreign forces using Iraqi land, airspace or water for any reason. The US has some 5,000 military personnel in Iraq, mainly as advisers. The non-binding resolution was passed on Sunday after Iraq's caretaker Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, called for an end to the foreign military presence in a speech to MPs.

dit 46,738 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Honestly US intervention and presence in the Middle East has only caused further damage and instability in the region. Literally the Middle East is at an all time low and it directly correlates with the US' invasion if Iraq. Ever since it's been going downhill at a rapid pace with one issue after another. This is not to say everything was smooth sailing before it but damn has it gotten worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its clearly divided across religious factions …. the Shiite's holding a slim majority at the moment ... Funny how nobody reports or comments on this fact... Iraq is split ... like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
