Trump Says "Wle Are Not Leaving Iraq Unless They Pay Back" For Air Base In Iraq by perez100: 11:12pm On Jan 07, 2020
One day after the Iraqi Parliament voted to expel 5,000 American troops from the country, Mr. Trump said "if they do ask us to leave, if we don't do it in a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like they've never seen before ever. It'll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame."

Mr. Trump said the U.S. would not abandon the bases in Iraq.

"We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that's there," Mr. Trump said. "It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time We're not leaving unless they pay us back for it."

Mr. Trump called the decision to invade Iraq "was the worst decision, going into the Middle East was the worst decision ever made in the history of our country." He also said "it's been nicely proven" that Iraq was not responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks.

In a series of tweets on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence linked Soleimani to the terrorist attacks, writing that Soleimani "assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States." Pence has been criticized for this remark because Soleimani has not been linked to the September 11 attacks, The New York Times noted. A spokesperson for Pence told the Times that Iran allowed "several of the 9/11 hijackers" to travel through Iran to Afghanistan at a time when Soleimani led the elite Iranian Quds force. However, Soleimani is not named in the 9/11 Commission Report, the U.S. account of the circumstances around the 9/11 terror attacks and the response.

Play, play, Trump madness can no longer be controlled indoors. You hit on Iran in an undiplomatic and crude manner, killing 41 people and injured 23(suleimani plus 40people who died and 23 injured during his burial) now Iraq said you should pack your things and go and you are threatening them on their land.
Looks like " US soldiers going back home in body bags is becoming a prophecy."
