Dude, you need to give Hannity and Judge Jeanine a break! Don't blame me for the mess trump made in Iraq.

Bottom line is that it’s time to fold the tent and leave Iraq. The Iranians and their Shia proxies are looking to make our stay untenable.

The United States: the nation that knows how to get itself in innumerable quagmires, but can never figure out how to extricate itself. The nation that never takes a hint.

Some of you won’t be happy until we’re evacuating our embassy from the roof...Saigon style.

The Op's post was exactly what it was.

There was zero spinning it in to something that it wasn't.

Now, if you think that statement is unAmerican or Pro Iranian, that is your choice, but history should teach you something about how these people think and act. I would not be surprised at all to see some act of terrorism on our soil by these people in the future, that is how they do things.
What's your solution?

They aren't school yard bullies. They're religious nut jobs. And don't we all HATE religious nut jobs in the US?

You should brush up on your medieval history - the Muslims ( a caliphate that starts with a 'U") invaded the region when it was still the Roman Empire (took 'em about 20 years to get it right), took over, and it's been mostly a ****hole ever since & still stuck in in the middle ages in many ways, even in 2020.

I'm good with pulling the troops out - let the ME implode.

Which would be interesting because Putin is right there & waiting for that to happen.

Have you taken that fact in to consideration?

Also and if the US pulls out of the ME:

I don't want to ever hear ONE WORD about the lack of "human rights" or "women's rights" or girls getting their nether-region of pleasure hacked off or 10 year old girls getting kidnapped by ISIS to be sex slaves, or lack of schools for girls, or whatever else & out of that region, ever again, either.

Let them do their thing.

I hope the people who think Iran will cool it are right, but I feel they won't take what Trump did lightly. These are people with a deep seated belief in an eye for an eye. They will die themselves and think nothing of it.

The one thing we were all hoping for was that Trump would get through his 4 years without causing some major war or other problem, and it looks like he just couldn't control himself long enough to do that.

Iran CAN’T cool it. That’s not possible.

The Iranians want at least partial hegemony over the region, and they can’t get it if we’re allowed to bully them with no consequences. We have to leave, the way they see it. And after enough attrition and trillions of dollars being spent on our behalf, they can wait us out while they terrorize us in the meanwhile. They also know that after Iraq and Afghanistan, there’s little American support for what would be a VERY LONG war against Iran that would have disastrous consequences for both sides AND the world’s economy.

We’d have two allies in that war: Saudi Arabia and Israel. Neither would be of much use.

The Iranians are gonna play the long game here. They know Trump is boxed in. We really need to leave Iraq.
