"According to Iraqi media, parliamentary committees comprising supporters and allies of Sairoun, the coalition backed by Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and Fatah, largely made up of Iran-supported groups, have produced two draft laws calling for the withdrawal of foreign troops."

So. Does the US leave? (effectively handing the whole of Iraq to Iran)

After open murder and bombing on foreign territory, they might as well. It's going to take a hell of a lot of soldiers to keep holding it down!
 
this was going to happen anyways- Baghdad politics are subservient to Tehran, with or without Suleimani

“The Pentagon is upping the official estimate on the number of U.S. troops in Iraq who were killed by Iranian-backed militias, now putting that number at at least 603.

Officials previously said that Iran was linked to the deaths of roughly 500 troops.

That means roughly one in every six American combat fatalities in Iraq were attributable to Iran.

The deaths are attributed to proxies sponsored by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — Iran’s elite military force that protects them.”

This is probably the best solution:

"Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) talks about his plan for a decentralized Iraq, divided along ethnic and religious lines -- a Kurdish area to the north, and the rest divided between Shia and Sunni Muslims."
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6166796

It's a dated solution, but probably the best solution. 'Kurdistan', 'Sunnistan', and 'Shiastan'.

If you are told to leave by the Host Country, what options do you have?

Iraq NEVER WANTED TO BE A NATION


they are the scattered fragments of wars of long ago


they were merely factions in a land mass area


the western world drew the lines and called it Iraq
 
Remember when Obama droned ISIS and Al-queda fighters from afar, and the Reichwingers suddenly developed some odd sense of honor and freaked out over it? They seem strangely silent about this latest act of war.

Yeah. Well. We're going to be asked to leave. Iran will now have the whole of Iraq. And ... after stabbing the Kurds in the back, Iran will have the whole of Syria. 'Mission Accomplished'

Religious Quacks fighting a Religious War. No need for us to get in the middle of this.

I think the 'religious' bit is mostly a front. Saudi Arabia is extreme-reactionary (with, yes, necessary modern trimmings) whereas Iran is anti-colonial (with, yes, all sorts of crap to go with it). The religious bit was forced on everybody because even America didn't think it wise to ban religion, so everyone had to work through the Mosque.
 
Was the strike worth the likely retaliation and the potential to pull us into protracted conflict?” Representative Elissa Slotkin, Democrat of Michigan and a former C.I.A. analyst and Pentagon official, said in a statement. “The two administrations I worked for both determined that the ultimate ends didn’t justify the means.”

I guess they weren't being impeached. Wag that dog, Trump. Wag that Dog.

What would Rand Paul say? The self appointed spokesperson for the insular reich is oddly silent.

I'm trying to care. It's not working for me.

One of the most heinous parts of this whole mistake is TRE45ON, according to news reports, bragging ahead of time to guests at Mar-a-lago that he was doing to do "something big." Like a first-grader telling the other kids "I'm going to get a pony for my birthday, just wait and see." WTF.

If the tone of this article is any indication, our supposed good friends in Israel are not very happy with the assassination.
