A "million-man march" by Shi'a Iraqis organised by the anti-foreign interference Shi'a cleric Muqtada al-Sadr which just took place in Baghdad is demanding US and other foreign military forces leave Iraqi territory immediately.
Huge rally as Iraqis demand US troops pull out - BBC News
What will US and other foreign military forces do? The Iraqi Parliament has passed a non-binding resolution ordering US and other foreign military forces out of Iraq ASAP. The care-taker Prime Minister of Iraq has ordered US forces out by the end of 2020. Hundreds of thousands (perhaps a million) Iraqis have marched to support the expulsions just outside the Green Zone. The US Secty of State and the US Secty of Defence as well as the US President have said that US military forces will not leave Iraq while foreign military forces are preparing to leave.
Will the US militarily occupy Iraq in contravention of the 2014 agreement with Iraq to readmit* US forces to fight ISIL and the Islamic Caliphate? Will an Iraqi insurrgency and resistence begin to target US forces?
What's President Trump's game-plan in Iraq?
The word "readmit" is asterixed because the US Forces never really left as inflated embassy and consulate protection forces plus US-paid military contractors (mercenaries) remainded in force after the 2011 "US pull-out".
Cheers.
