That’s called politics.

Are you kidding? They certainly were in a position to resist. Our troops were embedded with theirs. As it is green on blue has always been a problem, you think it would be any different with the entire country against you instead of just a quarter?

In negotiations there is something called BAD - Best Alternative to a Deal. Clearly the Iraqis weren’t giving up legal jurisdiction over crimes committed by US troops - this was a hard line for both us and them. The minute a status of forces agreement was on the table, we were going to leave, plain and simple. The…

Please oh wise one tell us how President ghostmourn would stop the big bad Chinese?

The FMS procurement process is so screwed I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just straight up ineptitude on the part of USAF and not politically motivated. It’s a major reason some countries go elsewhere, because they can’t stand having the USG be the middle man.
