Already backing away from withdrawing from Syria and Afghanistan,
President Trump really raised a lot of questions with his quotes over
the weekend on Iraq. Trump insisted that US troops “might as well” stay in Iraq and that they’d use it to “watch Iran.”
This puzzled a lot of administration officials. The Pentagon said no one
told them the mission for the troops in Iraq was ever changed to
watching Iran. The State Department says that the troops aren’t watching Iran at all, and that troops are in Iraq out of respect for “mutual sovereignty.”
The Iraqi government is already having some trouble with US views of
their sovereignty, and these comments aren’t helping. President Barham
Salih warned that Iraq had never given US troops in their country permission to watch anybody.
Other Iraqi officials concurred, saying that they would not allow Iraq
to be used as a staging area for moves against a neighbor, and that the
US should not “overburden Iraq with your own issues.”
Every once in a while President Trump says exactly what he means to do. Iraq must become a US drone and listening base. Our embassy in Baghdad is almost certainly the hub for “watching Iran”.
Hmmm
Iran has not conducted an unprovoked attack, let alone invaded another country in the last 100 years. This stands in sharp contrast to Israel that has carried out unprovoked attacks/invasions against every single one of its neighbors repeatedly since 1948.
Iran is a signatory on the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty. Iran’s adherence to that treaty has been verified repeatedly by the international community and their findings backed up by every major intelligence agency in the World. Every agency accept Israel’s, which of course has been trying to trick the US into war against Iran for literally decades.
Israel on the other hand, refuses to sign the Non-proliferation treaty, refuses to allow ANY international inspectors into Israel, and is in fact the actual belligerent/guilty party in the Middle East, NOT Iran/Syria/Iraq/Libya etc……..It is Israel that continues to steal land from its neighbors. It is israel that is working night and day to destroy its neighbors, not the other way around.
US law is crystal clear, israel’s actions prohibit them from receiving ANY US aide: So why are we cutting aid to the Palestinians who are victims of israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid and not israel?
After I move my illegally parked car, I’m gonna double park it over there. Stay out of my way.
Even with our soldiers removed from Iraq our huge embassy in Baghdad will continue to “watch Iran”. The government of Iran knows that but acquiesces.
Hence it was unnecessary, thoughtless and actually quite dumb of our President to make his statement whose effect will be to weaken the power of Iraq’s president and strengthen the power of El Sadr.
trump, on this rollover, confirms that he has the cajones the size of bird shot.
Hmmm
No my friend; it take balls the size of elephants to stand up against the israeli lobby and finally make a foreign policy decision that is good for America and the American people instead of what is good for israel.
Trump proves once again that he is a man of his word. He promised over and over again during the campaign that he would withdraw US forces from the totally unnecessary wars in the Middle East, specifically Afghanistan, Iraq, and SYRIA! Wars which give ZERO benefits to America and the American people. Wars which are in reality bankrupting America. Wars which benefit only israel……….
I humbly suggest you pick up a rifle and march right on over to Syria if you feel that strongly about supporting israel’s illegal occupation of the Golan Heights.
“I humbly suggest you pick up a rifle and march right on over to Syria if you feel that strongly about supporting israel’s illegal occupation of the Golan Heights.
??????”
I humbly suggest that you have totally misunderstood my comment-is English your second or third language? I have picked up a rifle back in the day and marched to Vietnam three times-I would never march for Israel!!
trump did say he was pulling troops out of Syria and now he was waffling on that-wants to leave troops in Iraq to protect Israel. I stated that was a rollover, a changed decision, a reverse on that decision to pull troops out.
BTW. I thought that was a great decision originally in the face of the cowardly congress, pentagon, and of course the zionists. Now I’m not so sure if the decision stands, hence my use of the word “rollover.”
cajones=cojones
a man’s testicles.
courage; guts
A typo which may give give you some slack!
My meaning: trump’s change of decision and leaving troops in Iraq indicates he lacks courage, guts, and his testicles in the venacular are the size of birdshot, i.e very small.
BTW-Iraq Pres was not consulted and is against the decision.
I hope this clarifies this-Israel is like a gigantic sucking slug on the U.S. and they just got another $38 billion approved!?
