Iraqi MPs Outraged by U.S. Plan to Keep Troops



BAGHDAD (Dispatches) -- Iraqi parliamentarians on Wednesday served fiery responses to a decision coming out of Washington to review the U.S. plan to draw down the number of American forces in the Arab country.
Iraq’s Arabic-language Baghdad Today news agency reported the reactions that were issued by MPs Hassan Shaker al-Ka’abi, head of the Badr parliamentary bloc, and Mukhtar al-Mousavi, representative of the Fateh Alliance, to which Badr is affiliated. New Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said last week that he would review the plan announced by the Trump administration to reduce the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan each to 2,500.
