The top US general said Monday a letter suggesting the US would withdraw troops from Iraq was released by mistake and poorly worded, telling reporters "that's not what's happening."
Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley sought to address the confusion that began after the leak of aletter to the Iraqi government from US Command in Baghdad suggesting US troops would be withdrawn from the country.
"That letter is a draft. It was a mistake, it was unsigned, it should not have been released ... (it was) poorly worded, implies withdrawal, that is not what's happening," Milley said.
"It's an honest mistake ... it should not have been sent," he added.
Another word for "honest mistake" is incompetence.

Unless it wasn't a mistake. What would be the chain for a mistake like that? You don't transmit something unless you're told to.

Meanwhile, they were hearing copters all over Baghdad last night.

Seriously. Is there anyone that read this story about the letter and didn't immediately think this is exactly how Trump would respond to the Iraqis if they asked him to leave.

Keep sticking your fingers in your ears, you and your orange ball of lies will be dead soon enough.
As if the general is the best choice to send a message to an Iraqi.
Who would your choice be? You can't handle the truth so you make a bullshit statement like that one.

And another one down. The Pentagon Chief of Staff has resigned.

I’d want out of that chain of command too before an illegal order is given.

Bush started a drone assassination program that was iffy at best, Obama took it and expanded it (even using it against a US citizen), and now Trump is pushing the envelope a little further by ignoring some of the protocols that were set up as an illusion of checks and balances.

The game has been rigged for a long ass time; and both parties are guilty.
You just can't bring yourself to singularly blame Trump for anything that he does. Be a man once in a while.

This is the Russian asset who is trying to keep us out of a war with Iran. Must be a Putin plan to keep us out of war.

She presents her time in Iraq like she was clearing hot zones with an m-16 in her hand instead of safe and sound working admin on Balad Air Base that by Middle East standards was a fucking cake duty station....minus the occasional mortar round. She is a phony.

She aint no phony. She signed up just like you. I appreciate both of you serving this great country.

I did serve my country......and when the subject ever comes up I state I was not in during wartime. Tulsi is a craven oppurtunists who misrepresents her time there and constantly violates DoD regulations about using her military image in campaign fund raising pictures. She has no problems with ethics violations

The picture that's emerging, unsurprisingly, is unplanned chaos due to incompetence. Trump apologists pretending there's some grand plan, or even a plan, is pretty ludicrous at this point. American personnel are less safe and American interests have been harmed, and if you believe there really was some secret imminent attack I have a lovely bridge for sale.

Yeah, I always feel like I have to apologize for not serving during war. "Sorry they didn't put on a war while I was in."
My dad served between Korea and Vietnam. I was post Vietnam by just a few years.

No telling what you're in for when you sign up, you just know you're in for whatever comes. My grandad served in WW2, but mostly as a POW. He was part of a decoy before el Alamein, hundreds of guys sent marching off into the desert to likely be captured, just to mislead the enemy. When the Italians dropped out they just opened the gates of the camp and said good luck rather than transfer the prisoners to the germans, so he lived in the mountains for a while before being recaptured by the germans when it was his turn to get water, then he eventually got liberated by the russkies just before the end. I wish I'd got more details from him, but he died when I was pretty young.

Noam Chomsky: US Is a Rogue State and Suleimani’s Assassination Confirms It

Trump’s decision to assassinate one of Iran’s most prominent and highly respected military leaders, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, has added yet another name to the list of people killed by the U.S. — which many rightly see as the world’s biggest rogue state.

The assassination has escalated hostilities between Tehran and Washington and created an even more explosive situation in the politically volatile Middle East. As was to be expected, Iran has vowed to retaliate on its own terms for the killing of its general, while also announcing that it will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. Iraq’s parliament, in turn, has voted to expel all U.S. troops, but Trump has responded with threats of sanctions if the U.S. is forced to remove its troops from the country.
