Osama Kamal on US Forces Leaving Iraq
The report covers the departure of the last American soldiers from Iraq, reigniting questions about the outcomes of the American intervention that lasted over two decades. It clarifies that the United States did not find weapons of mass destruction, which was a primary justification for the invasion, and that the dismantling of Iraqi state institutions led to Iraq becoming a theater of Iranian influence. American influence continues through oil revenues that pass through accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the Iraqi government relies on oil for 90% of its budget revenues. The report notes that the invasion resulted in years of violence and the rise of ISIS, and that the withdrawal of American forces marks Iraq’s surrender to a new reality of challenges and foreign influence.
