So president TV sees that "PRESIDENTS" visit troops at Christmas time so he calls Andrews and tells them "Fire up AF1, we're going to Iraq".

And now the Iraqis are pissed because … you just don't blast into someone's country unannounced … who knew diplomacy would be so hard … who knew. Well probably anybody if he'd asked. His impetuousness is dangerous to humanity. :shock:
What do YOU want...and when can we sign you up?Hey, Trumpsters want us out of Syria and Afghanistan, getting out of Iraq would be the trifecta!
What do YOU want...and when can we sign you up?
No no...you want us at war in Syria and Afghanistan.I want calmer heads and better diplomacy, not rash rookie mistakes.
No no...you want us at war in Syria and Afghanistan.
No...actually...thats not true. You want your hatred sated, so the reality is you want ANYTHING opposite of EVERYTHING Trump says or does.
Bull****. You want your libertarian ideals...unless its Trump giving them to you.Do you see me telling you what you want? No.
As a libertarian leaning independent, I've wanted less intervention all around the world, ME and north Africa included. But I believe there are much better ways to do it than the way Trump is doing things. He's just blowing things up to create chaos because of his own domestic issues.

Really? Because THIS is what you and others are ****ting yourself over.Nope, sorry. Again, you don't know what I want. I'm telling you what I want. Don't presume to know me after reading one (or a handful) of my posts.
Really? Because THIS is what you and others are ****ting yourself over.
"Qais Khazali, the head of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia that fought key battles against IS in north Iraq, promised on Twitter that parliament would vote to expel U.S. forces from Iraq, or the militia and others would force them out by “other means.”
Awwwwww....now that puts your little snit in perspective...doesnt it? You know what? I bet you didnt even bother reading what you were poutraged over.
:lamo

Of course I am talking to you and every other person that is in this thread ****ting themselves over 'Iraq' wanting to kick the US out of Iraq. Because it isnt 'Iraq' its a handful of dissident members of their parliament, one of whom is banned from the EU for leading a Shia resistance.This and the last few responses seem rather...dense. As if you are not even talking to me, but some projection of your own making. Do continue talking to yourself, because you obviously are not talking to me.
But does he know what he WANTS? and do you and others know what you are in this thread ****ting yourself over? This thread was started by and jumped on with a bunch of Trump hating posters that didnt even bother READING what the actual article says. They are pissing themselves because an Iran backed member of the Iraqi parliament is poutraged over Trumps visit.OMG you mean he wants the US to continue aiding our allies and fighting vicious terrorist groups? How horrifying :roll:

You can't blame anybody but Trump for not knowing the job and subsequently sticking his foot in his mouth.
Trying to make political points during a foreign visit to the troops turns them into pawns. They are a captive audience entirely happy to have the President no matter who he is visit them.
Again the job is:
- Land
- Thank the troops for their service
- Have a meal with them
- Wish them well
- LEAVE
You stray outside of that, you do it at your own risk.
If posters here want to do something useful, take a train or plane to DC and help Donald pry the foot out of his mouth.
This ^^ 100%. :applaudFrankly, its not a matter of what Iraq actually wants as I don't believe they want us to actually leave. Granted, there are surely political forces at work there that do. There was no reason for Trump to make any sort of geopolitical or political comments while on the ground in Iraq. The job of the President at the holidays is:
- Land
- Thank the troops for their service
- Have a meal with them
- Wish them well
- LEAVE
Trump's mistake was using the visit to announce that the US had no plans to leave Iraq. There was simply no reason for that and Iraq is both chaffing at ignoring their obvious prerogative to ask us to leave just as they asked us to come and chaffing at being ignored in the fact of the visit itself. The first concern is likely greater for the Iraqis than the second and likely by a wide margin. Having no plans to leave may not have translated as Donald would have liked. But in truth there was no reason for Donald to make any announcement of any sort about our intentions in Iraq while in country visiting the troops. Can Donald just shut up and do his job for once?
