The Iraqi Parliament just voted to oust the US from their country. Since we have no SOFA agreement, they might have a case and we might end up leaving.
I have to wonder, if Trump does remove all troops, will this then turn all the doves here into war hawks just to oppose Trump's move?
BERLIN — The authorities in Hamburg said Monday that they had shut down the mosque where several of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks had met, asserting that it remained a source of radicalization nearly a decade later.
The trustees at an east London mosque that employed a dangerous extremist who attempted to build an army of child jihadists have been stripped of safeguarding responsibilities by the charity watchdog.
Networks of radicals are re-emerging in British mosques and elsewhere to encourage and facilitate Muslims wanting to travel to Syria and Iraq to fight for Islamic State (Isis).
Mosques
Some mosques in the United States transmit extremist ideas.[4] The North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a group with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, "holds titles of approximately 300 properties [mosques and Islamic schools]".[21] The organization's website states: "NAIT does not administer these institutions or interfere in their daily management, but is available to support and advise them regarding their operation in conformity with the Shari'ah."[21] Other research on the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States claims NAIT influences a far larger number of Islamic institutions in the U.S.[3][22][23]
We don't care and we will do whatever we want and you can't do anything to stop us
But, because you seem to be ignorant for your reasoning(yet again), they can say the same thing for you. They can say that the United States has been breeding grounds for attacks for decades. And they have a more compelling case.
On Sunday the Iranian Regime just offered an $80 million bounty for anyone who brings in the head of President Donald Trump for killing Qassam Soleimani.
You have nowhere else to go, so you will be staying in Iraq, especially considering things will most likely escalate with Iran.

If he hits anything but military sites its murder.
Plain and simple.
He says he will hit cultural sites. Murder.
Here finally, he is shooting someone in the middle of fifth avenue. What will you do?
Yeah lets leave maybe Russia can build a base there and fill the void we left behind.

Turkey is a NATO ally, then there's Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Afghanistan. And that's before I look at a map.
I agree with BFFT. Take our toys and go home. No foreign aid to Iraq, no protection for Iraq, no dealings with Iraq. We declare them a satellite of Iran and therefore a terrorist nation until they prove otherwise. If Iraq don't want us there, they don't want us there. Sovereign country.
Next time someone in Iraq targets one of our embassies or our allies, though, we can't be expected to make the coming airstrike quite so surgically precise.
