WHOOPS! Iraq pres says TRUMP hasn't asked permission to use Iraq to "watch Iran"

Did he forget to call before he announced it to the world? And did he just announce a 'secret' or national security component to the world ASSUMING we were doing this or he wants to do this?

Didn't this board LIGHT UP when Obama wouldn't let the troops stay in IRAQ because they wouldn't sign the SOFA? Does the 'contract' or deal or policy we have to retain the 3 or 4,000 troops left in Iraq even allow this?

WTF people?


Iraqi president says Trump did not ask permission to 'watch Iran'

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi President Barham Salih said on Monday that President Donald Trump did not ask Iraq’s permission for U.S. troops stationed there to “watch Iran.”

Speaking at a forum in Baghdad, Salih was responding to a question about Trump’s comments to CBS about how he would ask troops stationed in Iraq to “watch” Iran.

​
U.S. troops in Iraq are there as part of an agreement between the two countries with a specific mission of combating terrorism, Salih said, and that they should stick to that.

Trump said it was important to keep a U.S. military presence in Iraq so that Washington can keep a close eye on Iran “because Iran is a real problem,” according to a CBS interview broadcast on Sunday.

​
“Don’t overburden Iraq with your own issues,” Salih said. “The U.S. is a major power ... but do not pursue your own policy priorities, we live here.”

Iraq is in a difficult position as tensions between its two biggest allies, the United States and Iran, increase.

“It is of fundamental interest for Iraq to have good relations with Iran” and other neighboring countries, Salih said...

So do WE already have troops that can surveil or do we have to send in more troops that are trained, and with needed equipment, to spy? Iraq isn't going to notice?

Which do you think?

PS If we already ARE or planning to, didn't he just tell the world!
