OK, Iraq. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.

[FatherofFive]

What a waste that part of the world is. Their religion will keep them fighting each other forever.

[gibsonguy]

Non binding passed by a bunch of Iranian yes boys. If we actually started packing up they would beg us to stay bank it.

[granada]

Must say: Iraqi war2003 paid off.

[ballplayer]

Good bring the troops home let the Arabs kill each other

[Seruzawa]

The voting roll gives the Iraqis a convenient list of Irani agents and Iraqi quislings. Well done.

[DoughtyOne]

This is essentially a nothing burger, being hawked by the Left for nutritional value.

We would do well to ignore it, not act as if it’s more than it is.

[Terry L Smith]

Ok, then ... leave it as it was, BEFORE we started rebuilding. Let them figure it all out!

[coaster123]

Justice for W! Justice for the war criminal George Bush.

[Caipirabob]

Lol...sure. Cut off all aid immediately and watch them come crawling back like a crack whore.

"Non binding passed by a bunch of Iranian yes boys. If we actually started packing up they would beg us to stay bank it."

So possibly a politically correct vote, just like House impeachment of PDJT.

Insights welcome.

What a colossal pile of ingrates! Let ‘em all rot !

The Iraqi military, much improved since its 2014 debacle in Mosul, can probably handle any ISIS threat. We should hope so because the current government of Iraq is trying to live in peace with its neighbors. Whatever its faults, it’s preferable to Iran or the old Saddam regime.

[PubliusMM]

we should leave, post haste.

Everything that is moveable, bring it along. Everything else...just destroy it. Burn it. Blow it up. Bury it. Doesn’t matter.

Cut off all financial aid, too. We don’t need their damn oil, so there is no need to kiss their asses for ANYTHING.

Russia and Iran will rush to fill the vacuum. Let the Iraqu’s stew in their own juices. The people will rise up once they have had enough of the subjugation of islam.

We need not expend another drop of blood or treasure in this sand pit.

Hard to take seriously a resolution passed by people whose lives were threatened if they failed to pass it. "According to the Wall Street Journal, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, Kataib Hezbollah, threatened lawmakers who failed to show up or vote in favor of the resolution. Hezbollah considered those people to be "traitors."

And when they get out of hand, we can use some of the $2 trillion in weapons we invested in, as Trump suggested.

[FES0844]

Ingrates.
