    Iraq votes to expell all US Troops

    Taken from the WSJ:

    Iraq’s parliament voted in favor of expelling U.S. troops, after the killing of an Iranian general there put the country at the center of an escalating conflict between its two most important allies. Lawmakers during and after the session chanted: “Out out occupier! No, no to America! No, no to Israel!”

    "Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all." ---John W. Gardner

    Just as Joe predicted. Should we accept their invitation to leave the region?

    We took it by conquest. It is ours. We decide when, or even if we leave. We do it under our terms. Screw them.

    How ironic it would be if the act of offing Soleimani led to what that monster wanted most — the United States Satan out of the area.
