<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe you mean Iraq says no thanks! :)<br /><br />They understand that Western "Crusader" troops policing the Middle East is about as effective as Russian "Communist" troops policing the KKK in the deep South.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What do you expected?? we armed ISIS and we are there to only contain ISIS. No wonder they no longer trust us or want us there.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The US has such a record of deserting our allies that they would be fools to ally themselves with us. Nobody in the middle east trusts us and with good reason. Since they don't want us now would be a wonderful time to hit the road and leave them alone.
