"Defense Secretary Jim Mattis made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Monday after offering assurances that the United States does not intend to seize the country's oil.

His comments, made hours before he arrived in Baghdad, may calm Iraqi leaders alarmed by remarks President Trump made about seizing the country's oil to pay for U.S. military help in the country."

Defense Secretary Mattis tells worried Iraq: No U.S. plan to seize your oil

Mattis was a good choice. Tough but not stubborn or antagonistic. Informed and has an understanding of the real world. Like the guy a lot.

Everyone is running around the world apologizing for our President...that is something I never expected so early on.

We have troops there, people helping us and they are fighting ISIS for real, not the pretend stuff from Russia.
