Neocon Freak-Out as Biden Contemplates Iraq-Syria Withdrawal By Daniel McAdams

Neocon heads like the Middle East Institutes Charles Listers are exploding with the news today that the Biden Administration may be considering withdrawing from its illegal occupations in both Syria and Iraq.

First on Syria. As Lister opines today in Foreign Policy:

-four sources within the Defense and State departments said the White House is no longer invested in sustaining a mission that it perceives as unnecessary. Active internal discussions are now underway to determine how and when a withdrawal may take place.

Lister, an early and stalwart supporter of the al-Qaeda-affiliated insurgency against Assad in Syria, warns of "the catastrophic effect that a withdrawal would have on United States and allied influence over the unresolved and acutely volatile crisis in Syria," adding that, "it would also be a gift to the Islamic State."

Ah. ISIS. Remember them? We have not heard anything from them in awhile. That moveable feast. From not long after Syrias Assad invited Russia in to rescue the country as it teetered on the verge of total takeover by the United States-backed "freedom fighters."

But…suddenly and if on cue-they are BACK!

Just when after more than a hundred recent attacks on the United States occupation bases have convinced even President Biden and his "Middle East experts" that it is only a matter of time before lots of United States of American blood is shed, ISIS suddenly comes roaring back for the neocons to use in attempt to justify Washington,D.C.s continued presence in the region.

Very convenient.

But perhaps someone has reminded President Biden that it is an election year and voters might start questioning just why and under what authority United States of American troops are stationed in Iraq and Syria. Especially as the "resistance" rockets (and missiles?) are getting closer.

Similarly to what Lister is panicking about regarding United States occupation of Syria, CNN is reporting today that "United States and Iraqi governments expected to start talks on future of United States military presence in the country."

Writes CNNs deep state mouthpiece Natasha Bertrand, "The United States and Iraq are expected to soon begin talks on the future of the United States military presence in the country, according to sources familiar with the matter, amid public calls from the Iraqi government for the United States to withdraw its troops."

Bertrand quotes several denizens of DCs "think-tank-topia" who warn that pulling out United States "trip-wire" troops from Iraq and Syria could negatively effect their plans for war with Iran-er-could um-embolden ISIS!

Bertrand quotes MIC-funded CSIS "deep thinker" Jon Alterman:

Still, rumblings of a potential United States change in its force posture in Iraq would be a victory for Iran, Alterman said. "Any sign that this is the beginning of the end would be widely celebrated in Iranian corridors."

Ah yes! Should the United States end its illegal occupation of Syria and Iraq, Iran would celebrate! Those dastardly mullahs! How dare they celebrate no hostile troops on their border!

You know who else would celebrate? Every single mother, wife, husband, and relative of those United States of American troops being forced to sacrifice their very lives for an occupation that has zero to do with the United States national interest.

Is Biden a cynical and bloodthirsty monster? No doubt.

Is he (or his puppet masters) only concerned about keeping that ring in his hands for four more years? Absolutely.

But would I celebrate and praise any decision by the Biden Administration to do the right thing and get the hell out of the Middle East, starting with the occupations of Iraq and Syria? You are damn right!

As neocon loon Michael Ledeen famously said-"faster please!"
