US has a whole new deal with Iraq, and won’t talk about it
U.S. officials could not say how many troops currently in Iraq would leave the country under a new bilateral security agreement.

The U.S. government’s plan to transition to a new bilateral security agreement with Iraq is about as clear as mud.
 

Speaking to reporters on Friday, two U.S. officials said that the relationship between U.S. and Iraq is fundamentally shifting but repeatedly refused to say how many of the roughly 2,500 U.S. troops currently in Iraq will withdraw from the country – if any –  under the new agreement and where those service members who stay behind will be based. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity under rules established by the State Department.
 
“We’re not going to speak to our plans concerning specific base locations or troop numbers,” a senior defense official said. “We have been and will continue to be in active dialogue with the government of Iraq about how our bilateral relationship will evolve, which will certainly include changes to our force posture and troop numbers. For now, that remains in a planning process and under review. Until those decisions are reached, we won’t be providing specific information on numbers and locations regarding something that hasn’t been decided.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Islam can lie up the wazoo about such dealings with "people of the book," so this agreement means nothing. **nononono*

Actually, faulting the DoD and State for not giving details of a status of forces agreement still in negotiations is misguided.  One doesn't publicize the content of any negotiated agreement until it is finalized, and the headline notwithstanding, it sounds as if the negotiations on this are still ongoing.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Do the Chi-coms still get Iraq's oil?

If the deal is organized by LIEden & minions ...
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
