Iraqi authorities asked for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) to leave the country Saturday after he called for Baghdad to repay part of the money spent by the US since the 2003 invasion.
Rohrabacher’s remarks at a news conference in Baghdad stood in stark contrast to those by senior US officials, who have pressed Iraqi officials to decide soon whether they want US troops to stay beyond a year-end withdrawal deadline.
“We called the US embassy yesterday [Friday], and we told them to ask the congressmen to leave Iraq,” government spokesman Ali al Dabbagh said. “We don’t want them here. What they said was inappropriate.”
