Last US Combat Troops Leave Iraq

(Satire, of course!) ... "I mean, is this what we compromised & submitted to? You preparing yourself for another exile' and me getting drunk on Twitter?

What is happening to the Americans? they keep sending us this Feltman while they reach out to Bashar. And what is it with this new position vis a vis the brave Colonel Ass'ad?
