US soldiers at the K1 air base northwest of Kirkuk (AFP File Folder) One thing should be made clear at the outset: American troops are not going anywhere! They are not withdrawing from Iraq as reports suggest they will do by the end of 2021. What is happening might be best described as a public relations exercise and/or reshuffling of the cards for better imagery. Combat US troops – all 2500 of them - are indeed leaving Iraq if that can be the best phrase to use by the end of 2021. However, it should be realized these troops have already changed their mission from combat to “advise” and “assist”. In other words, they will be working alongside the Iraqi army, helping and training them.
