Case Summary: The U.S. currently has just over 5,000 troops stationed in Iraq, trying to protect Iraq from trouble with Iran and protect against any resurgence of ISIS. The problem is that while the U.S. and Iran exchange tit for tat, Iraq is often caught in the crossfire. Recently, the scuffles have led to escalated retaliation, culminating in an assassination of an Iranian General, on Jan. 3, 2020, through a drone strike that also killed several officials from Iraqi militias. Iraq has had enough. Their parliament voted to expel all foreign troops. President Trump has refused, insisting that US troops will remain in Iraq and angry that they don’t appreciate our “help.” It’s time to give Iraq what they ask for and withdraw US forces from Iraq.
