Business Insider: Trump's plans for pulling out of Syria were embarrassingly disrupted by Iraq, which said the US isn't allowed to redeploy on its soil
* US troops leaving Syria for Iraq hit a hurdle Tuesday after Iraq said it hadn't given permission for them to regroup there.
* US defense secretary Mark Esper said Monday troops would be re-stationed along the Iraq-Syria border, with a mission to secure oil fields and monitor ISIS activity.
* But the Iraqi government poured cold water on Esper's plan, saying the US had not secured the necessary permission to puts its troops on their territory.
The US military found its plans for its chaotic withdrawal from Syria further mangled on Tuesday, when the government of Iraq said it had not given permission for troops to resettle on its soil.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper had told reporters Monday that the US troops evacuating Syria would be redeployed along the Iraq-Syria border, with a mission to secure oil fields and operate in a limited capacity against ISIS.
But less than a day after that announcement, the Iraqi government said that the US had not secured the necessary permission to puts its troops on their territory.

So bring them all home.
All these stories about the US leaving; so what!? Tired of seeing my tax dollars wasted for nothing! Also, this gives the US times to rebuild and train for the next big thing.
In 20 years, this will mark a turning point in the Global strategy of the US and I think it will all be positive.
As if Iraq could stop us from entering their country. 😂 They had 2 chances to do that already. How did that work out. What a bunch of paper tigers.🖕🎃

Here’s a good read about how the Trump administration was “really?” handling the Kurds diplomatically. From a conservative outlet. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-east-watch/exclusive-inside-state-departments-meltdown-kurds-90241
I must point out an error that I have made. National interest is not a conservative magazine. It follows the realist philosophy.
we supported the Kurds. We wanted Assad out. Iran, Russia, Assad now rule the region and Israel and Kurds, our allies, screwed. Iran now on border with Hez. of golan heights ...our allies worldwide no longer trust us
