Eric Zuesse – US Now at War Against Iraq and Iran

On January 9th, Iraq’s Prime Minister and Parliament again ordered all American troops out (https://mideastdiscourse.com/2020/01/09/iraq-gives-the-US-its-marching-orders-what-part-of-go-home-dont-you-understand/), but on January 10th the AP headlined “US dismisses Iraq request to work on a troop withdrawal plan” (https://APnews.com/182bae76452d7565b0a3d840ff0369cband) reported that the US State Department “bluntly rejected the request, saying the two sides should instead talk about how to ‘recommit’ to their partnership.” It was not a “request” from Iraq; it was a command from them; and the US and Iraq relate as conqueror and conquered, not as “partners.” Consequently: the US Government, now that it has been so unequivocally ordered to leave, is back again, unequivocally, to its invader occupier role in Iraq.

The AP report went on to say that, “The request from Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi pointed to his determination to push ahead with demands for US troops to leave Iraq.” Again there was that false word “request.” The AP report said that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asserted, in reply, “Our mission set there is very clear. We’ve been there to perform a training mission to help the Iraqi security forces be successful and to continue the campaign against ISIS, to continue the counter Daesh campaign.” Though that’s the invader occupier’s excuse, the reality is that the US needs Iraq in order to invade Iran, which is the US Government’s objective, though not overtly stated.

Already, America’s assassination in Iraq of Iran’s top general Qasem S–o–l–e–i–m–a–n–i on January 3rd is an enormous act of war against Iran. It is intended to obliterate Iran’s main strategist, and this successful attack against Iran inside Iraq is a devastating first strike, by the US Government against Iran.

So: now, the US is at War against both Iraq and Iran.
