Article: “Sudani urges ending foreign forces presence in Iraq“ Not just military but it is time for Iraq to be autonomous and sovereign so they want the removal of US forces and also financially.
They want the US military to leave immediately because of their destabilizing affect and to reorganize the US-Iraq relationship financially.There has been a number of articles this week where they are pushing to remove US tentacles from their financial world as well. This is big.

Not yours, primarily. Keep this in mind.
