Iraq recently voted to expel US troops, and, supposedly, a US general has told Iraq that "we'll be moving on," so to speak.  Where they goin'?  Gotta wonder if they're leaving Iraq for Iran.

Citing the vote in the Iraqi parliament, the head of US forces in Iraq has informed the government in Baghdad that the US-led coalition will indeed be leaving the country, contrary to public remarks by President Donald Trump.

"In due deference to the sovereignty" of Iraq, the Combined Joint Task Force Iraq will be "repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement," Marine General William H. Seely III wrote in a letter to the Iraqi Defense Ministry on Monday.

"We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure," Seely wrote, explaining that the process will involve increased helicopter traffic into and out of Baghdad's "green zone," mainly during the night-time, with the Coalition seeking to "minimize and mitigate" disturbances to civilians.
