I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

And we voted for them

Only time will tell.

My vote is just slightly lower than the US ignoring letters from Ho Chi Minh in the early 20th century.

The BBC says that the Iraqi Parliament passed a non-binding resolution asking US troops to leave. I don't think that carries any weight.

Correct. Legislation would be required to formally boot the US. And the forces agreement deal has a one year lead time, IIRC, for US forces to leave.

Of course Iraq could say “gently caress that, deal is canceled, get out faster,” but presumably there are monetary or other carrots that Iraq would forego if it broke a one year timeline agreement. There are likely a lot of ways Iraq could honor a one year timeline but just make everything a pain in the rear end such that it’s less trouble to get most forces out faster anyway.

Formally they have to introduce legislation (which is in the process) and then we have one year to withdraw.

The concept of international law is a joke to me anyway. There's no one to enforce said law except other nations. And how often do they ever do that when it counts?
