Iraqi resistance dismisses U.S. withdrawal talks, vows more attacks



U.S. officials say a withdrawal from Iraq and Syria is not imminent despite new talks about their status with the Iraqi government.

The IRI issued a statement saying the U.S. request to the Iraqi government to hold talks to determine the future status of its forces is "nothing but an attempt to shuffle the cards, turn the tables on the resistance, and buy time to carry out more crimes and diabolical plans to harm our people and our nation".

The IRI works on the principle or "if it sounds too good to be true, it is" and I don't blame them. Let's hope the withdrawal will not go the way it did in Afghanistan and no one will have to grab landing gears to escape.

Let's hope the "last chopper out of Saigon" will be a bit more organized. Looking at previous cases, however, probably not. At least the U.S. army will leave thousands of cans of Coca-Cola like we did in Syria, so they can be happy about that.
