Iraqs acting prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, who has said that his government would comply with Parliaments order to expel American forces, seemed to soften his position on Wednesday.

In a speech to his cabinet, he suggested that Parliaments decision might not be the final word, saying If we reach the decision to get the forces out of Iraq, then this would be the decision of the Iraqi government.

He also noted that if the government expelled the Americans, it would follow an appropriate time line, suggesting that any departure might not be immediate. He also reminded the ministers that ISIS has begun to reorganize and plan invasions and attacks.

Mr. Abdul Mahdi had asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the weekend to send delegates to Iraq to work out the details of a troop withdrawal, according to a statement released by his office.

well, according to two anonymous military officials and the above info nothing is really happening there apart from a two week vacation.
i mean ideally it's pushing the idea of us leaving more, that'd be great. but i'm gonna go with "same difference, same shit."
