The Week: Pentagon mistakenly releases draft memo promising withdrawal from Iraq
The memo released Monday that signifies the U.S’s plan to exit Iraq is a full-fledged ‘mistake,’
The release of this letter now has top defense officials scrambling to explain what their actual plans for troops are in Iraq.
UPDATE: Milley just came back down. Says he just got off the phone with Gen. Mckenzie of @CENTCOM – bottom line is letter was a mistake – it was a draft letter that got sent around for coordination purposes. But there is no US troop movement out of Iraq. https://t.co/m10AYs87P3
