Iraq’s prime minister said he would leave a decision on whether to expel American troops from the country to his successor after the Iraqi Parliament voted to oust them.
“I request that the president, parliament, and political parties nominate a new prime minister, a new government that has full authority because these difficult, complicated circumstances, especially with pulling of the troops ... that needs a government with full authority so it can go forward,” Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi Wednesday, according to an Associated Press translation.
