The State Department issued a security alert early Friday morning urging Americans in Iraq to leave the country immediately.
The warning comes hours after Iran promised “harsh retaliation” against the United States for an airstrike that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani at the Baghdad International Airport. “Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, we urge U.S. citizens to depart Iraq immediately,” the State Department said in the alert. (Tweet) The alert also said all consular operations are suspended at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad “Due to Iranian-backed militia attacks at the U.S. Embassy compound.”

All those pallets of untraceable cash sent to the Islamic Savages in Iran by Obama. One wonders how much of that Billion and a Half in cash somehow made it back into the greedy, traitorous pockets of the Obamas, Kerry, Clinton, and Valerie Jarrett (who was born in Iran). Just how has the Obamas suddenly become worth over 100 million and can now afford to buy a 17 million dollar home on the ocean in Martha's Vineyard. Just wondering.
Seems like some more missile strikes are needed.

What is mainly needed to stop the problems in America is a Justice Department that will go after the people who are so far immune.
Soros, Kerry, Obama, Hillary, Schiff, Biden, Pelosi, Comey, Brennan. Rid the FBI and the CIA of America's enemies.
all of those who got their sticky fingers in Ukraine and who are the ones who are actually are colluding to interfere in our elections.

Is the State Dept packing their bags to depart Iraq, or are they U.S. citizens? Prior actions leave questions on the matter.

Pure drama. Iraq is much safer now than it was two days ago but we can always expect the State Dept. (CIA Front) to contradict President Trump.

A cousin's kid and his family have been doing Christian work in Baghdad for years. I felt they were safe as they weren't close to the embassy, now not. Prayers they get out soon and safely.

Remember way way back when some of us said, why not just blow that god forsaken country back to sand? Well, here we are today and I still think it's a good idea! Yes, the women and children will go with the rest, but think about it! The women protect the men who like to Behead Americans and the kids grow up to be Terrorists! Meanwhile, we've lost so many of our young people, who are fighting a losing battle. For What! Bring them home and then drop the Big One!

The fake news media will be out in force. After the President advised Americans to leave Iraq immediately for their own safety, the anti-Trump U.K. Daily Mail reported that the President ordered all Americans to “flee” Iraq, a bogus report fraudulently using the word “flee” that could give populations around the world the wrong idea.

Why are there any American citizens there at all? I can see people posted in the embassy not venturing in the country. They better pack their bags and leave now unless they are forever stupid and want to be decapitated. If people are there for the beaches of the Tigress and Euphrates rivers we have those in the United States.

Unless you work for the American government, why in heck would you be in that hell-hole anyway? Bernie Sanders loves those kinds of places, so let him go there -- on his own dime (he has a buncha those.)

Good plan. The Iranian terrorist commander's sudden demise is a bit like whacking a hornet's nest. Be on alert for angry hor.....terrorists.

Getting Americans out of "harm's way" is the precursor to possible military action. We certainly don't need them to be used as "human shields" by these serial killers (Iranian proxy terrorist).
