FOX News: Germany, UK, others begin moving troops out of Baghdad, Iraq amid tensions following death of Soleimani
Germany and several other European nations on Tuesday began moving troops out of Baghdad, with some leaving Iraq entirely, amid soaring tensions in the region after an American drone attack that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad last week.
The decisions follow a call from Iraqi lawmakers to expel foreign troops from the country and a pause in the U.S.-led coalition's training of Iraqi forces.

WNU Editor: All of these countries are using the Iraqi parliament's non-binding resolution vote calling for the removal of all foreign forces as their excuse to get out. This is President Trump's opportunity to fulfill his campaign promise of leaving Iraq by also setting into motion a US withdrawal with our allies.

They're not insane.
Merkel of "Wir Schaffen Das" fame is clearly insane (immigration/energy/military/Putin's Daschund). Bojo is picking his fights. His main concern is Brexit (immigration and the economy).
I don't doubt that Trump wants to be out of Iraq and that would be a good thing. I however loathe leaving the Kurds to the tender mercies of the Ayatollahs and Erdogan. Otherwise, let's leave. We also owe some of the Anbar tribes. They fought with us again Al Qaeda.
Oh and Britain is still there
"As many as 50 British personnel had been moved out of Baghdad’s Green Zone to either nearby Taji or out of the country, the Guardian reported, citing UK sources. The number of British troops in Iraq remains at about 400, with a majority based in Taji, according to the outlet.
Croatia's defense ministry said the country's 14 troops in Iraq have been moved to Kuwait, while Slovakia said it has moved its seven service members from Iraq to an unspecified location."
Croatia and Slovakia do not have much combat capability in Iraq unless you consider a squad relevant. Tactically they are, but still they cannot do much. They are there as advisers or trainers. If the Iraqi parlementarians paid by the Iranians with Obama;s cash want them gone, it is the Iraqi's loss.
AntifaTroll has no brain cells. The idiot did not read the article. He only read the headline, popped the clutch, and went.
all you generals go to hell
