There’s no reason to maintain a diplomatic presence in a country whose government is either unwilling or unable to keep hordes of mutants from storming our embassy.
Shiite majority because of Obama insisting that the Shiite minority hold majority of the representation.
Fine. Time to let George Bush Junior’s experiment in idiocy come to an end.

Level it on the way out
Iraqi Parliament also votes to keep getting money from the US...
Did the Iraqi Parliament say "get out" or "we want you out"? There is a difference.
Saying "we want you out" without saying "get out" would be a political move to appease Iranian elements in Iraq, without taking action. If that is the case, then despite all the political posturing, U.S. forces stay. Then over a few months, the pro-Iraq and pro-U.S. elements can get their act together.
In real life, politics happen, and surface appearances are not what is really going on.
Buh bye.
Good luck!
Did you mean:
Fine, let’s take our troops and Money.
And who will protect the embassy??? Iraqis????
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fine, let’s leave, and take our troops and Money.
In most countries, the host is not responsible for security at our embassy.
That's why you don't see this sort of sh!t in civilized countries.
No problem. We still need a couple thousand to maintain the embassy and any consulates.
Level and leave could be a good U.S. policy.
Not if it’s bulldozed. We would never leave that building intact.
Knock it down and salt the earth.
Yep.
To: GideonOfWarTurkey denied us entry into Northern Iraq during the initial invasion to root out terrorist/al-qaeda from our SOF teams. Its time for a little payback.I've been saying for some time that we should have flattened Iraq's and Afghanistan's infrastructure, killed their leaders, divided the countries along ethinic lines, set the ethnic groups at each other's throats, and walked away.
The take home message is: You F with us, we will track you, personally, down and kill your sorry arse, we will destroy everything you hold dear, and your country will simply cease to exist.
The bonus in this case is Turkey, who wouldn't help us, is rewarded with a newly minted Kurdistan on their border. That Iran also has to deal with a Kurdish homeland on their border is a bonus...

"Level and leave" is a much more concise statement.

The vote poses a pivotal test to an American troop presence that has been instrumental in the defeat of Islamic State, even as powerful Iranian-backed factions have come to dominate the Iraqi government. One of those militias, Kataib Hezbollah, threatened lawmakers who failed to show up at the session or vote in favor of a law to evict U.S. forces, branding them “traitors.”
