a far more surreptious reasoning?
It is clear that Iran and Iraq will be working together to bring about "stability and peace" - or so they say. The US says to Iran: "Stop meddling".
But Iraq and Iran started 'conversing' many months ago. The U.S. had no knowledge of those talks until AFTER they were concluded. Be that as it may,, Iraq does need SOME regional help and apparently they both feel the need for at least some degree of camaraderie being that they are neighbors, despite their past war woes.
We don't OWN the Middle East, leastwise Iraq. Soon, they - Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, even Saudi Arabia will be sharing the same bed.
Something like the U.S. does, with Israel.
And so Iraq feigns the need for the U.S. to remain in Iraq. To root out terrorists, al Quaeda, militias, jihadists, al Sadar loyalists, etc. Saves them the ttrouble.
Of course the Middle East knows our history. They know we take pride in ourselves as the world's 'police' .

So it is a smart move by them –these Iraqis, to USE OUR troops while they meet secretly with others in the region, and come even closer to each other.
Use our troops while they fashion a government to enhance THEMSELVES more than the U.S. Oh, they know they will have to give up at least some portion of their oil interests. But that will be the price. A few billion at a time is merely a drop in the bucket for oil-rich Iraq. They are not so concerned with “security”, given hundreds of their own dying daily. But these are a shrewd, cunning people….They are working for themselves. And they have allies….they are surrounded by them.
And they meet,whenever expedient. Like the U.S, and Israel….
Except that, unlike the U.S. and Israel, they add even more bedfellows,
No, I'm not on their side. But I see it differently than most. I feel we are being used.

Bush 'refuses' to leave because he has to save face. He has convinced himslef that we will win this so-called 'war on terror'. But the 'war on terror' will last long after he leaves office.
And no, I do not embrace that the CIA or any other U.S. agency knows everything that is going on re the inbternal workings in Iraq. First, they lie too much. And secondly, US intelligence is sadly lacking in nearly every respect.
