We are not planning to withdraw right now. Pentagon: We are not aware of notification from Baghdad of a decision to withdraw US troops, 10 JAN
The Pentagon said on Monday it does not currently plan to withdraw its nearly 2,500 troops from Iraq.
This comes despite Baghdad’s announcement last week that it had begun an operation aimed at ending the mission of the U.S.-led international military coalition in the country.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a press briefing: “Right now I have no knowledge of any plans (to plan to withdraw). We continue to focus heavily on the mission of defeating ISIS.”
He added that US troops are in Iraq at the invitation of the government there.
Ryder said he was also not aware of any notification from Baghdad to the Defense Department about a decision to withdraw U.S. troops.

Developing the market for the banking sector is huge because look, the ISX shows that their index has been up about 52% in 2023...Why is that if Iraq is just status quo and it's just blah...? It's not.
Once they...get the parallel price to say 1320, 1310 as apposed from 1560...they'll adjust and finish the project to delete the zeros. Remember, it's not off the currency, it's off the exchange rate of the currency. There is a difference. A lot of people are still hung up on that...

Take notice of what they say about what currency the shares will be denominated in.. The Iraqi dinar. Take even more notice that they are telling the world that the shares will be affected by the exchange rate. With the expectation of a rate change to be stronger than the dollar one could imagine the impact that is already having and how much more growth there will be. This is a very good sign of things to come. I am so ready.
The Central Bank of Iraq is giving out instructions for what they're doing and how they're doing it...I think you should be pretty excited because I know I am...

The electronic platforms are being established through Visa and MasterCard for the citizens of Iraq in order to be able to transfer money in and out of their country because the float is about to start. The dollar is going down and the dinar is going up. Today you saw a third change 135,000 to 100 USD. It's going in the right direction and it's moving fast.. .
The floor of the CBI is really spotless, spotless enough to bring forth the new exchange rate, the lower denominations to the Iraqi citizens without fear...
[Hypothetical bank interaction] I went to Chase Bank and they told me it's a scam. Remember [FireFly boot on the ground in Iraq] tells us JPMorgan is building 10 more banks [In Iraq]. So tell them when they say it's a scam - you are really ignorant. Don't you know about those 10 banks they're building right now?
No. Hey, did you know know JPMorganwill support the Iraqi dinar 100% and that's direct from the CEO Mr. Jamie Dimon...Did you know the US Treasury has millions of dinars in its foreign reserve? Scam huh?...Did you know as of January 1, 2024 there won't be a single American dollar used in Iraq any longer and only the Iraqi dinar which means it's going to have value? ...How in the world do you not know these facts about your bank? Or are you lying..
