His Afghanistan withdrawal was an abomination. Not that it was done but that it was done so poorly.

But I am glad to see us getting out of foreign entanglements. I’m sick of US money going to rebuild crap hole countries that hate us regardless. So good job Joseph. You finally did something right. Keep it up. :)

However, I do wonder if the withdrawals are just freeing us up for war with Russia and China. Guess we’ll know soon enough.

I was there 14 years ago. Green Zone and then in southeast Iraq near Amarah with the army medical corp. Al-Sadr was and apparently still is the kingpin. I was able to swim in that Republican palace pool as a result of American blood. It was the first embassy in Iraq. I watched the new embassy be built. All the while, Sadrists would indiscriminately rocket, bomb and mortar anyone in the green zone.

Not too happy that his “departure” from the political arena is actually going to gain him the power he’s desired since saddam was forced out of power.

George W Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden might have felt like you were a pawn, but I appreciate you for being you.
A badass.

This has been debunked numerous times today, by numerous networks and government agencies, including Fox News. Fox News debunked it multiple times. Fox News State Department correspondent debunked it a few times. Yet you keep on sharing it.

Try to stay on topic, I know that is difficult when I don't share tweets for you with simple sentences. Why are you lying about the evacuation of the US Embassy? You are straight up lying about it. It didn't happen. Even the far right wing American autocrats on Twitter are taking back this talking point, which I am sure is where you got this garbage from to begin with. You are straight up lying and spreading bs. The American Embassy in Iraq was not evacuated today. Full stop.

From everything that is being reported he doesn't want either Iranian or American outsiders influencing internal affairs in Iraq. And he's not wanting to fill in the political gap even though he's got a significant force behind him and (obviously) hardcore supporters behind him. He may actually be wanting... wait for it... Iraqis to decide their own future. Sovereignty...

How about we just leave and look for oil in this hemisphere or... wait for it... right here in America?

We could, but I’m tired of seeing us (taxpayers) leaving billions of dollars in war equipment in other countries after spending billions of dollars to rebuild them. I thought maybe we could at least get a couple of tankers of oil out of the deal.

It doesn’t really matter because I fear we are withdrawing from Iraq to go fight another war with China or Russia or maybe both.
