no.. you just don't understand 22D chess!
I will wait a few more hours to see if this news of withdrawal is true, or just partial in some areas.
If it's a full withdrawal, I'd have to believe the US told them they are on their own.
Nope.
They are falling back to higher ground in the mountains
to regroup just like the last time Saddam's Iraqi government invaded.
The Trump Administration will not reveal their cards
and will let the Iranian controlled Iraqi government believe the the U.S. has abandoned the Kurds, again.
Obama intentionally pulled out of Iraq so Iran could take over
all the while using ISIS to tie up any possible Kurdish resistance.
What we will be witnessing now is an Afghanistan style cooperative
with the Kurds to reclaim Iraq from Iran
much in the same way we used the Northern Alliance to obliterate the Taliban.
Almost a thousand U.S. soldiers were murdered in Iraq because of Iran and Obama rewarded them
with hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars, nuclear weapons and access to U.S. weaponry.
A significant population of the Kurdish people have been highly trained as TIER 1 COUNTER-INSURGENCY OPERATORS that ISIS is even terrified of.
This is the beginning of the end for Iran and will not stop at Baghdad.
Tehran will be burning in months.
I just read the headline that Iraq was attacking someone and I had to think to myself for a minute, "Wait, was Iraq the one we attacked and rebuilt recently? Or was it Iran? No Iran was the one we're mad at for making nukes. Then there was Afghanistan, why did we attack/rebuild them again? That was before Iraq attack/rebuild right? Then there's Syria but that was more recent. Damn it gets complicated."
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag announced that his country is closing its airspace to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) following a National Security Council recommendation on Oct. 17, Daily Sabah reported. This will affect all flights from Turkey to Iraq's Kurdish region and vice versa.

The governments of Iraq and its autonomous Kurdish region may be one step closer to settling their heated feud. On Nov. 14, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) issued a formal response to a Nov. 5 decision by the Federal Supreme Court that the Iraqi Constitution does not permit any region to secede. Officials in Arbil said they "respect the interpretation" of the court and called for the ruling to serve as a starting point for negotiations to resolve the region's outstanding constitutional disputes with the central government in Baghdad. But although the concession could pave the way for peace talks, it is unclear just how willing Iraqi leaders are to lift the pressure they have put on the Kurdish administration since its controversial independence referendum in late September.
So far Arbil has refused to annul the results of the vote, as Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has demanded. However, since taking control of Iraqi Kurdistan in early November amid the temporary suspension of the region's presidency, KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani has sought to distance himself from the steadfast resistance of his uncle, former President Massoud Barzani, to nullify the will of the Kurdish people. Arbil's recent decision to respect the federal court's declaration that regions cannot secede from Iraq, in essence, is an invalidation of the referendum's importance and outcome.

Iraq to build new oil pipeline to Turkey
Iraq is to build a new pipeline to allow oil exports to resume from the northern province of Kirkuk to neighbouring Turkey, the oil ministry said Sunday.Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaybi has ordered documents to be prepared towards building the new pipeline to "transport crude oil from Kirkuk's oilfields to the port of Ceyhan" in Turkey, a ministry spokesman said in a statement.
An older pipeline was "too damaged by attacks by Daesh terrorist gangs to be rehabilitated," Assem Jihad said, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
Iraq had exported 250,000 to 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) through that pipeline before IS jihadists swept across large parts of the country in 2014.
The new pipeline is to stretch for around 250 kilometres (150 miles) from the area of Baiji, in the province of Salaheddine to the south of Kirkuk, to the Fishkhabur border post with Turkey further north.
