American troops left Iraq the other day, which got very little coverage. Trump issued a celebratory post suggesting he got Ali al-Zaidi elected. He made no mention of Iranian militias in Iraq.

Much like Trump's Iran war, Iraq was a war that never should have happened. George W. Bush lied about Iran's wmd/nuclear capabilities just as Trump is lying about Iran's.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the Nobel Peace Prize winner being announced next Friday.

Lewzer will be in full fake "peace" mode all week.

Just Cuz Trump did it doesn't mean it didn't need doing.

Leaving Iraq Completely should have happened years ago.

As soon as they told the US to leave after the murder of Quassem Soleimanei, if not long before.

Trump Sucks Totally but this is the Right thing.

Leaving the ME entirely would be even Better.

Iran is the Future, Israel is the Past.

That's the Arc of History.

Trump announced: LOL

What else could he do? He was desperate.

Too little, too late and a big Ho-hum. The best thing Trump could do for world peace is have an aneurism and kick the bucket.

The third carrier is a bit of a joke. Two that are there now are due to rotate out and there's still no cover in Japan. USS Truman is just heading into the shop for at least five years.

"A third carrier ?"

Who's guarding Taiwan now?

Or that why Trump had that big welcoming party and lavish dinner for Xi?

Submarines?

USS Washington split from the area to relieve USS Lincoln, which was perfectly fine, by the way. Washington has been at sea now since May. The other carrier, H. W. bush has been at sea now since March. Roosevelt just left San Diego, so it has about 10,000 more miles to get on station.
