Gee what a surprise....Pro Iran members of the Iraqi parliament voted for foreign troops (aka America) to leave the country. Meanwhile, the Sunni, Kurdish and some minorities withdrew. So Iran is controlling Iraq by a simple majority disregarding vast areas of the country. Sounds similar to what the Democrats tried to do in 2016.
Walid Phares to Newsmax TV: Iraqi Parliament Vote Partisan
Yet Iraq was a power in that area and did not get along with Iran (Iran-Iraq war in the 80's)
Yet When the US invade and decimated their military then we left in 2011
and a rag tag army like ISIS could come in an takes part of the country
Even Trump wanted to withdraw troops after ISIS fell
The country is divide between Shia and Sunni populations and they are like domos and repubs
Sounds like politics in any country
of course the shia are going to side with Iran which is mostly shia
The shia in Iraq have been a minority but with America's help they have a voice
Sounds politic doesn't it and is it any different than in the US with political parties
Also America policy in that regions suffers from any cohesive plan
