The elected representatives in Iraq have decided that they want the U. S. to pullout of their country, which today is being obliged as the U. S. has announced the pullout, probably to set up an arsenal in Kuwait, for strategic strikes into Iraq and Iran if necessary. (Update: The Department of Defense is now saying the letter transmitted to the Iraqi government announcing the pullout was a mistake, a rough draft with no signature, so could this just be part of the art of the deal?)
