They're working on it:

"ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Parliamentary efforts to expel US forces from Iraq are the new focus of the Iran-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah (KH) following the end of the siege on the US Embassy, an official statement has revealed. "

Well, Trumpy is sending 3000 troops to the Middle East. Sort of the wrong direction.

You have ADHD? It's a simple contrast between "Bring the troops home" and "Send in the troops".

Of course Iraq is not going to vote to expel the United States troops. Just because they have a Shia minority in Iraq who sides with Iran doesn't mean the whole country is. I think the idea is ridiculous.

LOL How is Obama sending more Troops into Iraq a move to bring them home but when Trump does the same thing it's not? LOL Your lunacy and blatant hypocrisy is on full display.

Of course, since I didn't say that, it's a question that only demonstrates your lack of logic. The rest is your typical spew.

trump fired all his top generals, so now there is no military strategic experts and cadet bone spurs doesn't even know which end of the rifle the bullet comes out of. Good luck with this one.

Shia minority? When did 70% become a minority?

When did 51% become 70%?

Read a book.

Oh my. This is so damn funny, I truly am laughing. I've got to save this for every time you post "Read a book".

And so, to quote from the link you didn't read:

"97% of Iraqis follow Islam: 51% Shia and 42% Sunni." - This is from around 2012

"Iraqis are 64% Shia Muslim, 31% Sunni Muslim, 10–15% Christian" - Around 2003

"Religions[edit]
Shia: 70%
Sunni: 25%" - This last is from 2017

We really do need an Attic Hall of Shame, so I can nominate your post for it.

Time for you to take a break.

From the link:

97% of Iraqis follow Islam: 51% Shia and 42% Sunni. 1% of these describe themselves as "Just a Muslim"

Your confusion seems to be that you have no reading comprehension.

Also actually from the link:

the population of Iraq is formed of 70% Arabs followed by 25% Kurds

so your bigotry convinces you that all Arabs in Iraq are Shia and all Kurds are Sunni?

I would ask you to read a book, but you obviously need to learn English and integrity first.

The disturbing part is that you refuse to learn while trying to hide behind dishonesty.

The 97% statistic is from a report in 2012. The 70% statistic is from a report in 2017.

Your problem is you stopped reading the article. I went to the latest statistics in the article (and there are at least 4 different statistics in that thing, all from different times.

And I didn't mention Arabs or Kurds, that's your own projection.

Learn to read.
