State Department Orders Non-Essential U.S. Government Employees Out Of Iraq
Source: WAMU
The State Department has ordered all non-emergency U.S. government employees to leave Iraq right away.
The travel advisory specifically orders the departure of employees at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and consulate in Erbil, noting that normal visa services will be temporarily suspended at both posts.
Employees were urged to depart the country by commercial transportation as soon as possible and avoid U.S. facilities within Iraq.
It was not immediately clear what led to the order on Wednesday. The advisory instructs U.S. citizens not to travel to Iraq due to high risks of terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict

(6,546 posts)Bolton was chosen by tRump to be his tool to gain what he wants: Iran's oil AND a distraction for tRump's criminal and immoral self induced woes. Then tRump has the gall to snivel publicly about fearing what Bolton is pushing. This from the man who has no compunction about firing anyone who gets in his way or opposes his goals. If tRump was not in agreement with Bolton, Bolton would be gone!

British intelligence is calling bs on Iranian threats.

(629 posts)Chicken shit piece of dung needs to be dragged across a parking lot of glass holding Gump by his feet. There are a whole lot of us who have been in war and we know what it is all about. One thing it is not about is a president waving his dick around and getting people killed because he wants a war. There is absolutely NO fucking reason we must go to war over a treaty Gump said was no good. What the fuck does Gump know about any treaty or contract? Jezus I hate everyone associated with this administration. They are all crooks and chicken shits.
